Hi Paul, The recording I know the song from is Jack-in-the-Green by Magpie Lane as sung by Andy Turner - these are the words he sings: Says I to myself let's go to Thame Fair So I went to the field to get the grey mare Chorus: Come on old lady, come over old lady Let's have us some fun over there Here away, there we're off to Thame Fair Foldy Roldy Diddle-de-dee The day it was hot, the road it was long We supped at the bottle as we rode along Chorus We hadn't gone far, about a mile When I met a young woman and how she did smile Chorus She says kind sir I'm off to Thame fair I says jump up behind me and I'll take you there Chorus She put her young arms around me waist Me face it did blush and me heart it did race Chorus On yonder green bank, twas there we laid down She gave me a kiss and I gave her a crown Chorus Some of my transcribing might be a bit off - but I hope that helps. Cheers John S
