Lyrics
On a fine evening fair in the month of april Over the hill came the sun with a smile And the folks they were throngin' the roads everywhere Makin' haste to be in at the Copshawholme Fair I've seen 'em a-comin' from mountains and glens Those rosy-faced lasses and strappin' young men With a joy in their heart and unburdened o' care A-meetin' old friends at the Copshawholme Fair Whoever joined our gathering And danced under the garlands green Will never be the same again Now rest your head and stay a while And dwell with us the summer's night And you'll never be the same again There are lads for the lasses, there's toys for the bairns Jugglers and tumblers and folks with no arms There's a ballad-singer here and a fiddler there Nut-men and spice-men at Copshawholme Fair There are peddlers and potters and gingerbread stands Peepshows and popping-darts and green caravans There's fruit from all nations exhibited there With kale plants from Orange at Copshawholme Fair Whoever joined our gathering And danced under the garlands green Will never be the same again Now rest your head and stay a while And dwell with us the summer's night And you'll never be the same again You came a long way, you traveled for so long Now rest your head before the summer's gone Meet us in the sunny fields and meet us in the greenwood deep And step in our faerie ring 'cause you'll never ever ever be the same again When the hiring is over, off they all sprang Into the ballroom for to join in the throng And "I Never Will Lie With My Mammy Nae Mair" The fiddles play briskly at Copshawholme Fair
