Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to Heaven
I´ve been downtown such a long, long time
I´ll never make it home by seven
Won´t you come and take me home?

I´ve been too long at the fair

I went down to Jason´s
Walked ´til my feet were sore
I never knew what laughing was
´Til you walked out the door
Won´t you come and take me home?
I´ve been too long at the fair
And, Lord, I just can´t take it any more

You can give my soul to Abraham
Give my soul to Saul
Give my bones to Canada
My teeth, they don´t hurt at all
I don´t know who made the highway
I guess that´s just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride

The silver blade is gleaming
The scales are all in his hands
I swear that night is falling, don´t you lose another man
Won´t you come and take me home?
I´ve been too long at fair
And, Lord, I just can´t stand it any more
And, Lord, I just can´t stand it any more
