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 la**es 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.
