Thread Name: Origins: Fakenham Fair
Subject: RE: Origins: Fakenham Fair
I never really fell in love til I went up to Fakenham fair
And chanced for to meet with a carnival girl a selling the fortunes there
Try for a lamp or a spanish shawl or a golden fillagree
But all the time her eyes were saying 'come take a chance on me'

CH.
So swing around the merry-go-round
Give the wheel of fortune a whirl
The finest prize at Fakenham fair
Is the pretty carnival girl

etc.

Got it off a bootleg of Mainly Norfolk. Don't know if it says owt on the sleeve notes. Really want it to be trad but omens not good! j
