Lady Maisery - Nottamun Fair lyrics

Artist: Lady Maisery

album: Weave & Spin


As I went down to Nottamun Fair
I rode a grey horse they call a grey mare
White mane and white tail, green stripe down her back
There's a not a hair on her that isn't coal black
She stood so still, she threw me to the dirt
She tore at my skin, she bruised my shirt
From saddle to stirrup, I mounted again
And on my ten toes I rode over the plain
Met a king and a queen, and a company more
A-riding behind and a-walking before
The bells did ring and the people did stare
To see a coach and six horses drawn by a grey mare
But when I got there, not a soul could I see
But ten thousand people sat laughing at me
Sat laughing and chuffing and making their game
To see my feet off and my shoes going lame
One moon-shiny morning, at night when was dark
It rained and it hailed as I went through the park
Took my hat in my hand for to keep my head warm
Ten thousand got drowned that never was born
