Fairground Blues Lyrics - Singles - Walkabouts

I can still remember 

the coat I wore that day 

yellow as a plastic moon 

with a weave as thick as chains 

walkin' past the sideshow tents 

drunker than we knew 

could never fill my brother's shoes 

got them Fairground Blues 

got them Fairground Blues 

was gone so long, I didn't know 

if my brother'd still be there 

when I got back to the 

burlesque show 

four cops were standin' on the stairs 

brother's hands were stuck in irons 

sweat had soaked his hair 

said "you missed the fun in there 

missed all the fun in there 

you missed the fun in there" 

brother's face was red and wild 

cop said: "do you know this boy? 

Choked a man for just his smile 

this one's a killer not a boy." 

My brother spit and laughed 

and said: "I shoulda' stuck with you 

big brother shoulda' stuck with you." 

got them Fairground Blues X4
