VERSE: Her hair was brown and her eyes were blue and her lips they were soft and red I’d never seen such a shape as hers and my eyes nearly popped from my head For I was young and innocent oh but still even I could see the way she smiled and winked my way said ‘come take a chance on me’ *CHORUS* VERSE: My friends they said well she’s not for you oh what will the old people think But I took my chance and I won that girl just as quick as an eye could wink And the finest day in all my life whatever may come to pass Was the day i went up to Fakenham Fair and won me the carnival lass *CHORUS*
