And beat all the lasses at Haltwhistle Fair.
Miss Bouncer was so very loving and kind,
She smil’d in my face, while she drank up my wine;
Of punch and of cakes, oh my dear had her share,
And I paid expences at Haltwhistle Fair.
So kind and so loving, what less could I do,
Than buy the dear creature a fairing or two;
Some things that she fancied, I paid for I swear.
Says she, I shall oft think on Haltwhistle Fair.
With very good judgment, and very good sense,
