Tom Green County Fair

Roger Miller


You know it's funny how certain things stick with you through the years
Like how it feels to be ten years old at the County Fair

Hot dog stand when you're hungry hot dog smells so doggone grand
Hoppin' through the sawdust runnin' with my brothers
Head to toe a smilin' at the Tom Green County Fair

Rodeo Tom Green County Fair's got one fine rodeo
The cowboys are the greatest the clown he is so funny
You bust your riches laughin' at the Tom Green County Fair

Well the Sunday at the Fair that make memory more valuable than gold
Specially when you're ten years old
Ferries wheel just like an airplane in the sky that's how you feel
Look down see the people wave your arms and holler
Everybody's grinnin' at the Tom Green County Fair

Night time comes put there on the bandstand we see Billy Swan
Everybody's clappin' mom and pop are dancin'
Sawdust is a flyin' at the Tom Green County Fair

Well the Sunday at the Fair that make memory more valuable than gold
Specially when you're ten years old
Time to go the pickup truck it ride us down the gravel road
All of us kids so begrudged looking through the dust cloud
At the lights and the laughter at the Tom Green County Fair
