LINSTEAD MARKET
(learned from Toby Lighthizer in about 1967)
He promised he would meet me at Linstead Market,
Well, I waited and I waited at Linstead Market,
Everybody come to Linstead Market,
I found a letter at Linstead Market,
Sorry can't meet you at Linstead Market,
But I'll meet you tomorrow at Linstead Market,
(from miriam berg's folksong collection)
Take me out to the fair,
He promised he would meet me at Linstead Market,
Take me out to the fair.
Oh, what a night, what a night,
What a Saturday night!
Oh, what a night, what a night,
What a Saturday night!
Until the hour of ten,//
Oh, what a night...//
But not a sign of my Joe,//
Oh, what a night...//
Explainin' everything to me,//
Oh, what a night...//
Just got married tonight,//
Oh, what a night...//
At a quarter to ten,//
Oh, what a night...//
