We're followin' them dusty old

Hit the foggo on the jump

Through the cobb country towns

and the sands of old Montana
Followin' them fairgrounds

As the white line on the highway
sails under your wheels

with a different kind of face

Hollowin' the fairgrounds a -callin'

Following them firegrounds a -callin'

And ride yourself blind

for the next town on time
Following them fireground

As the harmonicas wind
C

in the lonesome night time
D
Drinking red wine as we're rolling
G
Many a turn I've turned,
C

many a lesson I've learned
D
From following the fairgrounds of calling
G
D
G
And it's rolled back
down to St. Petersburg
D
Tied down the trailers in Camphor
G
And the money that we made
G
we'll pay for the space
Come following them dusty
D
old fairgrounds a -callin'
