Stayed Too Long At The Fair - Remastered

This song is called "Stayed too long at the fair"

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
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore (I just can't stand it anymore)

Now I went down to Chason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' 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 stand it anymore (I just can't stand it anymore)

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 gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin'
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore (I just can't stand it anymore)
Lord, I just can't stand it anymore (I just can't stand it anymore)

"Alright, this is another new tune that we
Learned from a friend of ours
I played with that
Jackson Browne 'bout a year ago at the Circus
And, i don't know
I just played with him at the main point a little while ago

And i guess his coming back with Joni Mitchell
And I think his even coming back
I can swear he was just here
With uhm, Chris Smither his really fun
I was waiting for that record for a long time
And i guess half the country was by the time it came out"
