Tommy Makem - November Keady Fair songtekst
Je score:
Come all good people attention pay to these few lines I pen And before I stop concluding, sure I hope I won't offend It was on the thirteenth of the month, a beefer I had to spare And I drove her up in the morning to a November Keady Fair Chorus: Me and my goat along the road, so joyfully did steer That the ladies had to take one side, believe me boys for fear Her horns were long and very sharp, for battle she did prepare And we drove at the rate of a wedding to a November Keady Fair Well I came up to the market house, I mean the old Church Hill There were lots of horny cattle there, that seemed to all stand still I met a decent gentleman and I offered up a prayer And I sold my goat for half a crown in November Keady Fair Chorus She would give a pint and a half of milk all on a summer's day But believe me boys at present, sure she wouldn't cream your tay They say she missed the bachelor, but the truth to you I'll swear She was ninteen times at Maguire's buck as sure as I'm in the fair Chorus Well I miss her 'round the garden, where she used to eat the kale And I miss her 'round the fireside, where she used to wag her tail And I miss her 'round the old turf stack, for many's a row was there Since I parted with my nanny at a November Keady Fair Chorus
