Ride This Train (Part 6) — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

Ride this train to any country fair in this land now here`s a hard working happy people
Mrs Jones baked the finest pie for the contest this year
And Mr Brown`s got the biggest fattest old sow you ever saw
And all the kids are eatin` popcorn and cotton candy
This is Chester South Carolina and that year at the fair
My papa brought us all down in a wagon
And on the way down we picked up another family that lived up the creek
I was just a little boy but I remember I kept askin` papa
How much farther is it how much farther is it
We had a young haffa tied to the wagon that papa just knew
Was gonna take first prize
I didn`t have no doubt about that haffa winning first prize
But the main thing I was interested in
Was somethin` else papa had under his seat at the front of the wagon
And that was an old dobro that I thought papa played like nobody else in the world
I guess by real musical standards papa didn`t know much about music
But I tell you that night at the fair when he played in the dance band
I just had to stay awake sat up there and listen to papa play the dobro
