Springfield Fair by Randy Sparks & Nick Woods

Soldier, soldier come with me, we'll go down to the fair.
Oh, how can I go and be your beau when I got no shoes to wear?
i'll go down to the cobbler shop and get you the finest there.
They'll look so neat upon your feet
as we go down to the Springfield Fair, we go down to the fair.

Soldier, soldier come with me, we'll go down to the fair.
Oh, how can I go and be your beau when I got no suit to wear?
I'll go down to the tailor shop and get you the finest there.
You'll look so cute in your brand new suit
as we go down to the Springfield Fair, we go down to the fair.

Soldier, soldier come with me, we'll go down to the fair.
Oh, how can I go and be your beau when I got no hat to wear?
Well, I'll go down to the hatter's shop and get you the finest there.
Imagine that, a fine silk hat,
now we'll go down to the Springfield Fair we'll go down to the fair.

Now you're dressed from head to toe
and I just can't wait to go.

Soldier, soldier come with me, we'll go down to the fair.
Oh, how can I go and be your beau, when I got no way to get you there,
down to the Springfield fair.
Well, I'll go down to the carriage house and get you the finest there,
Side by side is how we'll ride as we go down to the Springfield Fair
we go down to the fair.

Soldier, please come with me, we'll go down to the fair.
Oh, how can I go and be your beau when my wife and fourteen kids are there
the wife and the kids are there.
