about

This one was inspired by our love for a good night at the county fair. Written in 2020 when they were postponed for the year. Excited to feature Max Senteney from The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band on clawhammer banjo on this recording. Thanks Max!

lyrics

County Fair

One more time way up yonder
One more time way up yonder
One more time way up yonder
I’ll see you at the county fair

Let’s go courting way up yonder
Take a little chance way up yonder
Ask you to the dance way up yonder
I’ll see you at the county fair

We’ll go uptown way up yonder
Have a look around way up yonder
Till the sun goes down way up yonder
I’ll see you at the county fair

We’ll ride the tilt a whirl way up yonder
Say you’ll be my girl way up yonder
Under the lights way up yonder
I’ll see you at the county fair

We’ll stroll to the dance way up yonder
County clockwise do si do around now
Promenade and bow to your partner
I’ll see you at the county fair

We’ll dance all night way up yonder
We’ll dance all night way up yonder
We’ll dance all night way up yonder
I’ll see you at the county fair
Hot corn cold corn bring along the demijohn
Hot corn cold corn bring along the demijohn
Hot corn cold corn bring along the demijohn
Fare thee well Uncle Bill, see you in the morning..Yessir.

Upstairs downstairs out in the kitchen
Upstairs downstairs out in the kitchen
Upstairs downstairs out in the kitchen
See Uncle Bill just raring and a pitchin..Yessir.

One more time way up yonder
One more time way up yonder
One more time way up yonder
I’ll see you at the county fair
