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
