I never really fell in love till I went up to Fakenham fair
And chanced for to meet with a carnival girl a selling the fortunes there
Try for a lamp or a Spanish shawl or a golden filigree
But all the time her eyes were saying 'come take a chance on me'
So swing around the merry-go-round
Give the wheel of fortune a whirl
The finest prize at Fakenham fair
Is the pretty carnival girl
Her hair was brown and her eyes were blue and her lips they were soft and red
Id never seen such a shape as hers and my eyes nearly popped from my head
For I was young and innocent oh but still even I could see
the way she smiled and winked my way said come take a chance on me
My friends they said well shes not for you oh what will the old people think
But I took my chance and I won that girl just as quick as an eye could wink
And the finest day in all my life whatever may come to pass
Was the day i went up to Fakenham Fair and won me the carnival lass
