Fakenham Fair Lyrics by Bellowhead

Matachin

0

[Verse 1]
I never really fell in love 'til I went out to Fakenham Fair
A chance for t'meet with a carnival girl who was selling the fortunes there
Try for a lamp or a Spanish shawl or a golden filigree
But all the while her eyes were saying "Oh come, take a chance on me!"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Her eyes were blue, her hair was brown, and her lips they were soft and red
And I've never seen a shape like hers and my eyes nearly popped from my head
For I was young and innocent, oh, but still even I could see
The way that she smiled and winked my way said "Come take a chance on me!"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
The old boys said "She's not for you, now what will the old people think!"
But I took my chance and I won that girl just as quick as an eye could wink
And the finest day in all my life whatever may come to pass
Was the day that I went to Fakenham Fair and won me the carnival lass

[Chorus]
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

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
