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 & take me home   I’ve been too long at the fair   And, lord, I just can’t stand it anymore      Well 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      Well, you can give my soul to abraham   Give my soul to saul   Give my bones to canada   My feet 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
