Verse 1
G
Ride this train to any county
fair in this land.
Now here's a hard -working,
happy people.
Ab
Miss Jones baked the finest pie
for the contest this year,
G
and Mr. Brown's got the biggest,
fattest old sow you ever saw.
D
And all the kids are eating popcorn
G
and cotton candy.
This is Chester, South Carolina
and that year at the fair
F
my papa brought us all down
G
in a wagon
and on the way down
we picked up another family
D
that lived up the creek.
G
I was just a little boy
but I remember I kept asking Papa,
C
how much father is it?
F
How much father is it?
G
We had a young heifer tied
to the wagon
that Papa just knew
was gonna take first prize.
I didn't have no doubt
about that heifer winning first prize
F
but the main thing I was inter
G
ested in
was something else
Papa had under his seat
at the front of the wagon.
And that was an old dobro
that I thought Papa played
like nobody else in the world.
I guess by real musical standards
C
Papa didn't know too much about music,
G
but I'll tell you, that night at the fair,
F
when he played in the dance band,
Ab
G
I just had to stay awake and sit up
there and listen to
D
G
Papa play the dobro.
My papa was a hobo
when they delivered me
C
We didn't have a doctor
G
cause he couldn't pay the fee
But when the gore got too bad
to ease his misery
D
Papa played the dobro this
G
C
way
G
D
G
When company would come around,
he kept the dobro here
C
He knew he couldn't play
G
the way the other players did
Well, the guitar's resonator
was a gallon bucket lid
D
G
But Papa played the dobro this way,
C
G
D
G
and he'd go team, team, team
Well now that Papa's gone away,
Gm
G
it's hangin' by the flu
C
The top of it's busted,
G
and the strings are rusted too
It won't ever sound the way that
it did when it was new
D
G
When Papa played the dobro this way
Outro 1
And he'd go
