Highdown Fair Lyrics & Chords By Angelo Branduardi

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 on 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 burned up the old stick,
Witch 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
Witch burned up the old stick,
Witch 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
Witch put out the fire
Witch burned up the old stick,
Witch 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
Witch put out the fire
Witch burned up the old stick,
Witch 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 for the butcher
Who slaughtered the great ox
Which drunk all the water
Witch put out the fire
Witch burned up the old stick,
Witch 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
Witch put out the fire
Witch burned up the old stick,
Witch 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
Witch put out the fire
Witch burned up the old stick,
Witch 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
