BELLAGHY FAIR I went to the fair at Bellaghy, I bought a wee swad of a pig, I got it all up in my arms, and Danced the "Swaggering Jig. Then it's Hi! for the top o' the heather and Hi! for the root of the sprig, And Hi! for the bonny wee lassie That danced the Swaggering Jig. As I went to the fair at Bellaghy I bought a wee slip o' a pig And as I was passing the poorhouse I whistled the Swaggering Jig Then it's Hi! for the cups and the saucers, and Hi! for the butter and bread, and Hi! for the bonny wee lassie That danced the Swaggering Jig. As I being down by the poorhouse I whistled so loud and so shrill I made all the fairies fo tremble That lived near McLoughrim Hill Then it's Hi! for the cups and the saucers, and Hi! for the butter and bread, and Hi! for the bonny wee lassie That danced the Swaggering Jig.
