Faun - The Market Song Lyrics






On a fine evening fair in the month of April
Over the hill came the sun with a smile
And the folks they were throngin' the roads everywhere
Makin' haste to be in at the Copshawholme Fair
I've seen 'em a-comin' from mountains and glens
Those rosy-faced lasses and strappin' young men
With a joy in their heart and unburdened o' care
A-meetin' old friends at the Copshawholme Fair

Whoever joined our gathering
And danced under the garlands green
Will never be the same again
Now rest your head and stay a while
And dwell with us the summer's night
And you'll never be the same again

There are lads for the lasses, there's toys for the bairns
Jugglers and tumblers and folks with no arms
There's a ballad-singer here and a fiddler there
Nut-men and spice-men at Copshawholme Fair
There are peddlers and potters and gingerbread stands
Peepshows and popping-darts and green caravans
There's fruit from all nations exhibited there
With kale plants from Orange at Copshawholme Fair

Whoever joined our gathering
And danced under the garlands green
Will never be the same again
Now rest your head and stay a while
And dwell with us the summer's night
And you'll never be the same again

You came a long way, you traveled for so long
Now rest your head before the summer's gone
Meet us in the sunny fields and meet us in the greenwood deep
And step in our faerie ring 'cause you'll never ever ever be the same again

When the hiring is over, off they all sprang
Into the ballroom for to join in the throng
And "I Never Will Lie With My Mammy Nae Mair"
The fiddles play briskly at Copshawholme Fair

  7. T.... K....

    Great song !

  8. Y.... ....

    Fun Fact: When they sing "summer," they really mean "spring," since waaaay back in the day, the word "spring" was not used to describe the season!

    Y.... ....

    Thats interesting.  I wonder when they started using the word Spring to describe a Season..

    Y.... ....

    In English, at least, I think it wouldn't have been until around Shakespeare's time. I can't remember the exact date of it, but the first spring poem - one that used "summer" to describe the season, was written before the 15th century by a Scotsman. I didn't really recall it until after listening to this song, which describes a time during April as summer.

  9. A.... ....

    A wonderful song. What a great feeling it gives to us !

  10. D.... ....

    Guys, if your comments continue to lack basic respect or are completely off-topic, I'll disable the comments for this video. Don't feed the trolls and enjoy the music :)

  11. A.... ....

    I fell in love with this song. I suddenly found myself closing my eyes and waving my head to the music. I love the chorus. I would love to join that dance.

  17. C.... H....

    I know this song from Steeleye Span! Their version is called 'Copshawholme Faire". So good to see music being shared by different cultures and generations.

  18. H.... ....

    it's pretty great regardless of where it's played

  19. J.... K....

    No offence, but this has nothing to do with middle age music (I mean this song, not entire production of the band).

  20. o.... ....

    No problem Padme !

  21. J.... S....

    Thanks :)

  22. o.... ....

    No - English accent :)

    G.... P....

    Rascist

  24. D.... ....

    Lovin' this song:)

  25. V.... ....

    European folk/medieval is probably one of the coolest, and most whimsical styles of music I've ever heard. c:

  26. E.... ....

    Not really I think, maybe it seems a little bit like it because the band is originally german.

  27. V.... ....

    Good to know. c:

  28. J.... S....

    Is it sung with scottisch Accent? :)
    Just a question :)

  29. 3.... a....

    Yes, actually I thought about that. :D At the time I wrote that comment, I was playing WoW and listening to Faun at the same time. I kind of associated those two in a way.
