At the old lammas fair in ballycastle long ago

I met a pretty colleen who set me heart a glow

She was smiling at her daddy

buying lambs from paddy roe

At the old lammas fair in ballycastle oh

I seen her home that night

When the moon was shining bright

From the old lammas fair in ballycastle oh

At the old lammas fair

boys were you ever there

Were you ever at the fair in ballycastle oh

Did you treat your Mary Ann

To some dulse and yellow man

At the old lammas fair in ballycastle oh

In Flanders's fields afar

while resting from the war

We drank bon sante to the Flemish lassies oh

But the scene that haunts

my memory is kissing Mary Ann

Her pouting lips all sticky

from eating yellow man

We passed the silver margy

and we strolled along the strand

From the old lammas fair in ballycastle oh

At the old lammas fair boy where you ever there

Were you ever at the fair in ballycastle oh

Did you treat your Mary Ann

To some dulse and yellow man

At the old lammas fair in ballycastle oh

There's a neat little cabin

on the slopes of fair knocklayde

It's lit by love and sunshine

where the heather honey's made

With the bees ever humming

and the children's joyous call

Resounds across the valley

when the shadows fall

I take my fiddle down and my

Mary smiling there

Brings back a happy memory of

the lammas fair

At the old lammas fair boy

where you ever there

Were you ever at the fair in ballycastle oh

Did you treat your Mary Ann

To some dulse and yellow man

At the old lammas fair in ballycastle oh
