'Twas about steeple high,
"See yonder, Nell, see yonder, Nell,
There's Sledburn town," cried I.
And when we reached this famous town
We enquirèd for an alehouse,
We lookèd up and saw a sign
As high as any gallows;
We called for Harry, the ostler,
To give our horse some hay,
For we had come to Sledburn Fair
