Highdown Fair lyrics

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a grey cat

And ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

Along came a grey cat

And ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a black dog

And jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came an old stick

And beat off the black dog

Who jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a fire

And burnt up the old stick

Which beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came sweet water

And put out the fire

Which burnt up the old stick

Which beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a great ox

And drunk all the water

Which put out the fire

Which burnt up the old stick

Which beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

Along came a butcher

And slaughtered the great ox

Which drunk all the water

Which put out the fire

Which burnt up the old stick

Which beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

And the Angel of Death

Came by for the butcher

Who slaughtered the great ox

Which drunk all the water

Which put out the fire

Which burned up the old stick

Which beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse

And last came the Lord

Who threw down the Angel

Who came for the butcher

Who slaughtered the great ox

Which drunk all the water

Which put out the fire

Which burned up the old stick

Which beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

And last came the Lord

Who threw down the Angel

Who came for the butcher

Who slaughtered the great ox

Which drunk all the water

Which put out the fire

Which burned up the old stick

Which beat off the black dog

That jumped on the grey cat

Who ate up the white mouse

My father bought in the market square

At Highdown Fair for two farthings

My father bought me a little white mouse
