Their daddy took them to the county fair

Especially to see them from Tennessee

No money for the gate

He took them to the county fair

They saw two skinny kids with dusty shoes
                          F                   G
Peeking through the fence, at the instruments, begging you
        F           G              C F
They'll die just to meet with you
                    G         C    Am
Chet, you know they sing good too

Two skinny kids with dusty shoes

Black as ebony

Guard in ivory

They make the stars
               G      C    F
Songs from Dan and Lesley
