《County Fair(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] County Fair - John Mellencamp

[00:00:20] Well the County Fair

[00:00:22] Left quite a mess

[00:00:24] In the county yard

[00:00:26] Kids with eyes

[00:00:26] As big as dollars

[00:00:28] Rode all the rides

[00:00:30] Strip artists

[00:00:32] And con artists

[00:00:33] Put on quite a show

[00:00:35] And made some money

[00:00:37] Then left town

[00:00:38] Where they went

[00:00:38] I don't know

[00:00:49] Hey all you suckers

[00:00:51] I heard a fat woman say

[00:00:54] Come on in for fifty cents

[00:00:56] You can stay in here all day

[00:00:59] So I took a chance

[00:01:00] I went inside

[00:01:01] Wasn't much there to see

[00:01:04] So I asked her

[00:01:05] For my money back

[00:01:06] And she just smiled at me

[00:01:12] Saw Princess Tonyika

[00:01:15] Taken off all her clothes

[00:01:17] Rode some rides

[00:01:18] And played some games

[00:01:20] Saw the Wild Man from Barneo

[00:01:22] There was a black man

[00:01:25] Playing the blues

[00:01:27] Talked to some friends

[00:01:28] I hadn't seen in a while

[00:01:30] Through a football

[00:01:30] Through a hoop

[00:01:36] Well I saw

[00:01:36] Them loading up their trucks

[00:01:38] Taking down the rides

[00:01:41] Folding up all the tents

[00:01:43] There's a full moon in the sky

[00:01:46] Some were laughing

[00:01:47] Some were cussing

[00:01:49] As they worked

[00:01:51] Saw one of them making love

[00:01:54] To a local girl

[00:01:59] I was minding

[00:02:00] My own business

[00:02:02] It was quarter after two

[00:02:04] When a fella walked up

[00:02:05] And said

[00:02:06] Hey man

[00:02:07] I remember you

[00:02:10] And then he shoved me

[00:02:12] And pulled out his knife

[00:02:14] Stuck me three times

[00:02:15] In the chest

[00:02:17] And I died that night

[00:02:28] For the like of me

[00:02:30] I can't remember

[00:02:31] Who he was

[00:02:33] And why he'd put

[00:02:34] A knife in me

[00:02:35] In the dusty parking lot

[00:02:38] Everybody said

[00:02:41] What a shame it was

[00:02:43] But he knew better

[00:02:44] Than staying out

[00:02:46] Past twelve o'clock

[00:02:56] Some people put no value

[00:02:59] On a human life

[00:03:01] And there are places we all go

[00:03:04] That just ain't safe at night

[00:03:06] If somebody would do this to me

[00:03:08] They just might do it to you

[00:03:11] So be careful where you go

[00:03:13] And what you say or do

[00:03:24] Well the County Fair

[00:03:26] Left quite a mess

[00:03:28] In the county yard
