And nothing was talk’d of but Haltwhistle Fair.

You may be quite sure I was pleas’d to the heart,

To think I was going there to act my part;

While pleasure is going, I will have my share,

And see the nice lasses at Haltwhistle Fair.

Old Hetelwood briskly attended his boat,

And jested the Ladies while they were afloat;

He landed them all with a great deal of care,

And wish’d them all sweethearts at Haltwhistle Fair.

We enter’d the town with a great deal of glee,
