The sun is a-rising To welcome the day. Heigh-ho! Come to the fair! The folk are a-singing So cheerful and gay. Heigh-ho! Come to the fair! All the stalls on the green Are as fine as can be With trinkets and treasures For you and for me, So it's come then, Young folks and old, To the fair in the Pride of the morning. So deck yourselves out In your finest array, With a heigh-ho! Come to the fair! The fiddles are playing The song that you know. Heigh-ho! Come to the fair! The drums are a-beating, Come on now, let's go, Heigh-ho! Come to the fair! There'll be racing and chasing From morning till night, And roundabouts turning To left and to right, So it's come then, Young folks and old, To the fair in the Pride of the morning, So lock up your house, There'll be plenty of fun, And it's heigh-ho! Come to the fair!
