Lyrics to ‘The Jacktown Fair’
Verse: In eighteen sixty five back in the hills of PA
Began the oldest continuing fair in the USA
Farmers brought their livestock, mule teams and their canned peaches too…
But maybe knockin’ over bottles for a Teddy Bear ‘s for you…
Pre-Chorus: You can see some riding bulls, tractor pulls and go on the Ferris Wheel
Eat cotton candy, it’s real dandy, Oh what a deal…
RINGO! BINGO! under the I twenty three.
It’s the place to be… see you there!
CHORUS: You can’t die happy till you’ve been to the Jacktown Fair!
Verse: See the two headed cow, and Carny men with big Tattoo’s
20 acres of fun, what do ya have to lose?
We have our own fair Queen yeah she’s a big Ta Do!
If you’re really really lucky she may even wave to you!
Pre-Chorus: You can Jim Beam, jelly bean, Anything you wanna
Judge those canned peas, lima beans, it’s real Americana!
See the horse race, 4 H, it’s the place for me…
It’s where YOU wanna be… See you there!
CHORUS: You can’t die happy till you’ve been to the Jacktown Fair!
Pre-Chorus: You can Hula Hoop, step in poop, bring your special girl
Rubber duckie, feelin’ lucky, take her on the TILT-A WHIRL
Dodge’m Cars, pickle Jars, it’s the place for me…
It’s where YOU wanna be… See you there!
CHORUS: You can’t die happy till you’ve been to the Jacktown Fair!
Everybody’s go’in to the Jacktown Fair!
