I Went To The Country Fair (Fare Thee Well Jerry Garcia)
By Reggie Miles ©2012 All rights reserved
(Loosely to the tune of Old Joe Clark)

I went to the Country Fair
That Teddy Bear's picnic treat
Patchouli sweat & tie dye lust
To find some vegan meat
To find some vegan meat
Find some vegan meat to eat
To find some vegan meat

I went to the Country Fair
Hungry for somethin new
But every booth I found there
Sold organic tofu stew
Free range tofu stew
Certified organic through n through
Free trade tofu stew

Fare thee well Jerry Garcia
Fare thee well I say
I'm bound for ol Veneta town
To the Country Fair today

Fare thee well Jerry Garcia
Fare thee well I'm gone
Been walkin 1500 miles
Singin this ol song
Singin this ol song
Singin this song all day long
Singin this ol song

I went to the Country Fair
To laugh n dance n sing
So much music filled the air
My ears began to ring

I went to the Country Fair
Hitched till my feet got sore
Had so much fun while I was there
I'm goin' back for more
I'm goin back for more
I'm goin back for more, for more
I'm goin back for more

Fare thee well Jerry Garcia
Fare thee well I say
I'm bound for ol Veneta town
To the Country Fair today

Fare thee well Jerry Garcia
Fare thee well I'm gone
I walked for 1500 miles
Jus singin this ol song
Singin this ol song
Singin this song all day long
Woncha sing along

Fare thee well Jerry Garcia
Fare thee well my friend
I've sang my ass off all day long
I guess this is the end

Fare thee well Jerry Garcia
Fare thee well I go
I'll sing this line just once mo
Then that's the end of my show
That's the end of my show
It's off to bed I go, I go
Cuz that's the end of my show
