She goes down to meet her Mam(?), returning from the fields.
A wicker basket on her arm and a spaniel at her heels.
And as she picks wild flowers she wonders should she go or stay.
Now that Sligo Fair is just a week away.
Her mind is on the back seat of the travellers caravan
maj7
Headed for the city and to a new life she could plan.
With no more days of waiting for her man to name the day.
Now that Sligo Fair is just a week away.
(bridge)
Hard to be a woman in the country life.
She dont wanna be a milkmaid, she dont wanna be a milkmaid.
She wants to be a wife...
Way above the Northern coast, the seagulls circle high.
As to the West the sinking sun spills gold across the sky.
And homeward wends the Friesian herd to the ending of their day.
And Sligo Fair is just a week away.
(bridge)
Hard to be a woman in the country life.
She dont wanna be a milkmaid, she dont wanna be a milkmaid.
She wants to be a wife...
She goes down to meet her Mam, returning from the fields.
A wicker basket on her arm and a spaniel at her heels.
And as she picks wild flowers she wonders should she go or stay.
Now that Sligo Fair is just
Sligo Fair is just
Sligo Fair is just a week away.
