1
Well the County Fair left quite a mess
2
In the county yard
3
Kids with eyes as big as dollars
4
Rode all the rides
5
Strip artists and con artists
6
Put on quite a show
7
And made some money
8
Then left town
9
Where they went I don't know
10
Hey all you suckers
11
I heard a fat woman say
12
Come on in for fifty cents
13
You can stay in here all day
14
So I took a chance
15
I went inside
16
Wasn't much there to see
17
So I asked her for my money back
18
And she just smiled at me
19
Saw Princess Tonyika taken off all her clothes
20
Rode some rides and played some games
21
Saw the Wild Man from Borneo
22
There was a black man playing the blues
23
Talked to some friends I hadn't seen in a while
24
Through a football through a hoop
25
Well I saw them loading up their trucks
26
Taking down the rides
27
Folding up all the tents
28
There's a full moon in the sky
29
Some were laughing some were cussing
30
As they worked
31
Saw one of them making love
32
To a local girl
33
I was minding my own business
34
It was quarter after two
35
When a fella walked up and said
36
Hey man
37
I remember you
38
And then he shoved me
39
And pulled out his knife
40
Stuck me three times in the chest
41
And I died that night
42
For the like of me I can't remember
43
Who he was
44
And why he'd put a knife in me
45
In the dusty parking lot
46
Everybody said
47
What a shame it was
48
But he knew better than staying out
49
Past twelve o'clock
50
Some people put no value
51
On a human life
52
And there are places we all go
53
That just ain't safe at night
54
If somebody would do this to me
55
They just might do it to you
56
So be careful where you go
57
And what you say or do
58
Well the County Fair left quite a mess
59
In the county yard
