BANBURY FAIR by ANONYMOUS

First Line: AS I WAS GOING TO BANBURY / UPON A SUMMER'S DAY
Last Line: FROM FAMOUS BANBURY FAIR
As I was going to Banbury,
Upon a summer's day,
My dame had butter, eggs, and fruit,
And I had corn and hay.
Joe drove the ox, and Tom the swine,
Dick took the foal and mare;
I sold them all--then home to dine,
From famous Banbury fair.
