John Wesley Harding
The Night He Took Her to the Fairground
[Intro]
It's not something I often do this
This is an Acapulco number
Dedicate this to the man who wrote it
He's here somewhere, I don't know where he is
There he is, alright

[Verse 1]
Her glasses fell on the grass
They were reflected in the lens
Well, though short-sighted she knew
That they could never be friends
And as he pulled her down
She threw off his new suede shoes
Well, he didn't carry protection and
She'd just blown a fuse

[Verse 2]
She laughed but it wasn't at him
She called him a crazy fool
Well, she'd broken all of her promise
And he'd broken her golden rule
Well, they kissed but their eyes were closed
And she said ain't love blind
Well, she pulled his scarf round her eyes
But the attachment, it was just a bind
[Chorus]
The tunnel was out of love
The waltzer made no sound
The ghost train was on fire, on fire
And the merry go went round and round
The roller coasted on
As they went up and down
It was the night that he took her to the fairground
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It was the night that he took her to the fairground, yeah

[Verse 3]
Well, she ran away so fast
Like water down a drain
Well, they met and they tried to pretend that
They were strangers on a train
Well, she poisoned him with words
Well, he tried to spit them out
Well, he thought it was all absurd
You know that he had got no doubt

[Verse 4]
You know she was bending him out of shape
Well, just like plastic warps
He was an actor in her play but he was
Just beginning to corpse (Ha ha)
They molded together well
Well, her hand fit into his glove
And they were making up this story while
While they were making love
[Chorus]
Yeah, the tunnel was out of love
The waltzer made no sound
The ghost train was on fire, on fire
And the merry go went
Round and round and round and round and round and round
The roller coasted on
As they went up and down
It was the night that he took her to the fairground
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It was the night that he took her to the fairground

[Outro]
Thank you
Not often I attempt something like that, guys
