Gracehill Fair - The Irish Rovers

well i used to be a rover and i rambled all around

and i never felt the urge to settle down

but in the county antrim down ballymena waysly cupid came a-calling me one day

and from the very start sure she stole away me heart

since i saw her standing there

and with her i will stay until me dying day

and i met her at the gracehill fair

she was lovely as the roses and as graceful as a swan

and her lilting voice would brighten any dawn

i knew id be in heaven just to hold her in me arms

i was smitten by her beauty and her char

and from the very start sure she stole away me heart

since i saw her standing there

and with her i will stay until me dying day

and i met her at the gracehill fair

well the fair it runs from april until lammas days are done

and all are in good humour having fun

theres fiddlers, theres pipers and theres dancers on the green

and the finest wares that you have ever seen

and from the very start sure she stole away me heart

since i saw her standing there

and with her i will stay until me dying day

and i met her at the gracehill fair

now me roving days are over and im happy for to bide

for the lovely lass i met became me bride

each day i count me blessings for true love we do share

since i met her at the gracehill fair

and from the very start sure she stole away me heart

since i saw her standing there

and with her i will stay until me dying day

and i met her at the gracehill fair

and from the very start sure she stole away me heart

since i saw her standing there

and with her i will stay until me dying day

and i met her at the gracehill fair
