Big Blue Balloon

John Hartford

"Hurry hurry step right up, see Joe the dog faced boy"

I follow a big blue balloon
Through the carnival spring afternoon
Isn't it wild, to be lost like a child?
Chasing a big blue balloon

I follow a big blue balloon
Through the carnival spring afternoon
At the end of the string, there's a groovy young thing
Pulling her big blue balloon

Wait, just a moment, I stopped
To buy me a green lollipop
And talk to the man with the canes in his hands
And the wind-up rabbits that hop

I follow the big blue balloon
Through the carnival spring afternoon
Just hoping she'll wait, when she gets to the gate
She'll be holding her big blue balloon

Wait just a moment, I sigh
I think I must stop for a ride
I'm a sucker for clowns, and a merry-go round
When it only will cost me a dime

Then follow a big blue balloon
Through the carnival late afternoon
And now I am running, don't worry I'm coming
Hold on to your big blue balloon
