Lyrics
As I was a-walking one morning in spring
So soft blew the wind through the leaves growing green
I spied a pretty fair maid all on a grey mare
As she was a-riding on down to Hornfair
I asked this pretty fair maid for to let me ride
Oh no, oh no, for my mummy would sigh
And besides my old daddy would beat me for sure
And never let me ride on the grey mare no more
I can see by your looks you're for one game of play
But you will not ride me nor my grey mare today
You would crumple my muslin and uncurl my hair
And I shouldn't be fit to be seen when I get to Hornfair
They were the finest of horns that you ever did behold
The finest of horns and all gilded with gold
And so merrily, so merrily to Hornfair we did go
Like jolly brisk couples and all in one row
