Highdown Fair - Angelo Branduardi

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a grey cat and ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

Along came a grey cat and ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square…

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a black dog and jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came on old stick, and beat off the black dog

Who jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a fire and burned up the old stick

Witch beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came sweet water and put out the fire

Witch burned up the old stick

Witch beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a great ox, and drunk all the water

Witch put out the fire

Witch burned up the old stick

Witch beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a butcher and slaughtered the great ox

Which drunk all the water

Witch put out the fire

Witch burned up the old stick

Witch beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

And the Angel of Death came for the butcher

Who slaughtered the great ox

Which drunk all the water

Witch put out the fire

Witch burned up the old stick

Witch beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

And last came the Lord, who threw down the Angel

Who came for the butcher

Who slaughtered the great ox

Which drunk all the water

Witch put out the fire

Witch burned up the old stick

Witch beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

And last came the Lord, who threw down the Angel

Who came for the butcher

Who slaughtered the great ox

Which drunk all the water

Witch put out the fire

Witch burned up the old stick

Witch beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse
