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 un
til 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 un
til 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 un
til 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 un
til 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 un
til me dying day
And i met her at the gracehill fair
