Song Lyrics

Verse 1
Come all you lads and lasses dear,
That likes to revel at the fair.
The fiddle's merry on the green,
But they can't get on with the crinoline.
Chorus
So Master John, now just beware!
Don't kiss the girls at Marlborough Fair.
Verse 2
The farmer's wives and daughters, too,
They really don't know what to do.
They try to get to the fair in time,
But they can't get on with the crinoline.
Chorus
Verse 3
There's Carotty Kate, so jolly and fat,
She wears a flippetty, floppetty hat.
There's holes in her stockings as big as a crown,
And the hoops of her skirt are dragging the ground.
Chorus
Verse 4
Take my advice before you go,
And treat the girls to a fairing O!
But don't get dancing on the green,
With a girl that wears a crinoline.
Chorus
