Steeleye Span - Barnet Fair lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Barnet Fair lyrics]
Kemp
Once a year when the winter's calling
Birds fly south and the
Leaves are falling down
Just beyond the town
The meadow where a campfire's burning
Wakes in the morning to the
Music of the big fairground
Coming from the east, coming from the west
All the gypsies are gathering
Just another town on the road
For the travelling man
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair?
Follow on children won't you follow
Me to Barnet Fair? If I show you the way
Won't you come along today?
Everyone you know will be there
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to baRnet Fair
Leave the factory, leave the field
Word is abroad that the fair arrives today
Come on from the dusty loom
And the rusty plough join the procession
I can hear it come this way
Come and see the juggler
Come and see the fiddler
See the horses and the dancing bear
Come and see the pretty lasses with
The coloured ribbons in their hair
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair?
Follow on children won't you follow
Me to Barnet Fair? If I show you the way
Won't you come along today?
Everyone you know will be there
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair
See the magic lantern and the
Batt and hoop la prizes for the twopenny shy
"All the fun of the fair" you
Can hear the showmen cry
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair?
Follow on children won't you follow
Me to Barnet Fair? If I show you the way
Won't you come along today?
Everyone you know will be there
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair
Once a year when the winter's calling
Birds fly south and the
Leaves are falling down
Just beyond the town
The meadow where a campfire's burning
Wakes in the morning to the
Music of the big fairground
Coming from the east, coming from the west
All the gypsies are gathering
Just another town on the road
For the travelling man
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair?
Follow on children won't you follow
Me to Barnet Fair? If I show you the way
Won't you come along today?
Everyone you know will be there
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to baRnet Fair
Leave the factory, leave the field
Word is abroad that the fair arrives today
Come on from the dusty loom
And the rusty plough join the procession
I can hear it come this way
Come and see the juggler
Come and see the fiddler
See the horses and the dancing bear
Come and see the pretty lasses with
The coloured ribbons in their hair
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair?
Follow on children won't you follow
Me to Barnet Fair? If I show you the way
Won't you come along today?
Everyone you know will be there
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair
See the magic lantern and the
Batt and hoop la prizes for the twopenny shy
"All the fun of the fair" you
Can hear the showmen cry
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair?
Follow on children won't you follow
Me to Barnet Fair? If I show you the way
Won't you come along today?
Everyone you know will be there
Follow me, boys
Won't you follow me to Barnet Fair
