Johnny cash ride this train (part 6) lyrics

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
