Subject: Lyr Add: WEYHILL FAIR
I have been singing this song in an around eastbourne for about 2 years now, i learn't it from JK album.

WEYHILL FAIR

It's I have been to Weyhill fair
And oh what sights I did see there
To hear my tale would make you stare
And see the horses showing
They come from east they come from west
They bring their worst they bring their best
And some they drive and lead the rest
Unto the fair at Weyhill

Chorus
Sing fal la la la
Sing fal la la lay
All at the fair at Weyhill

There were blacks and bays and duns and greys
And sorrel horses aye and mares
And piebald too I do declare
And more that I do know on
There were blind and lame and win galled too
Crib biters there were not a few
And roarer's there were one or two
All at the fair at Weyhill

Chorus

All ages there as I'm alive
From one to two to thirty five
And some they scarce could lead or drive
Or on the downs could show them
There were broken winded too I saw
And some for panting scarce could draw
And there were clickers one or two
All at the fair at Weyhill

Chorus

Now some were shown upon the road
And others found upon soft ground
And up the hills their heads were turned
And that's the way to show them
They can gain or lose an inch or two
Oh yes they this and more can do
To find the one that will suit you
All at the fair at Weyhill

Chorus

The dealers through the fair do splash
And swing around a long whiplash
And cry 'my lads come stand a swash'
And that's the way to show them
They crack their whips and curse and swear
And cry my 'my lads be of good cheer
For this my lads is Weyhill fair
Do you like the fair at Weyhill

Chorus
