Hambledon Fair
As I was a-walking to Hambledon Fair
I spied lovely Nancy combing her hair
I gave her a wink, and she roved a dark eye
Says I to myself, "I'll be there by and by"
There by and by!
There by and by!
Says I to myself, "I'll be there by and by"
That night we went walking way out in the dark
And I took lovely Nancy to be my sweetheart
And she held my hand and then gently did say
"Aren't you that young man they call Ramble away?
Ramble away!
Ramble away!
Aren't you that young man they call Ramble Away?"
I said, "Pretty Nancy, don't smile in my face
For I don't intend to stay long in one place
She said, "Where are you bound?" and with heart full of care
I told her I'd ramble, the devil knows where
Devil knows where
Devil knows where
I told her I'd ramble, the devil knows where
Come all you young fellows, where 'ere you may be
Won't you find my sweet Nancy and bring her to me?
But, oh, you young ramblers, mind you take care
For I left my heart back at Hambledon Fair
Hambledon Fair!
Hambledon Fair!
For I left my heart back at Hambledon Fair
I spied lovely Nancy combing her hair
I gave her a wink, and she roved a dark eye
Says I to myself, "I'll be there by and by"
There by and by!
There by and by!
Says I to myself, "I'll be there by and by"
That night we went walking way out in the dark
And I took lovely Nancy to be my sweetheart
And she held my hand and then gently did say
"Aren't you that young man they call Ramble away?
Ramble away!
Ramble away!
Aren't you that young man they call Ramble Away?"
I said, "Pretty Nancy, don't smile in my face
For I don't intend to stay long in one place
She said, "Where are you bound?" and with heart full of care
I told her I'd ramble, the devil knows where
Devil knows where
Devil knows where
I told her I'd ramble, the devil knows where
Come all you young fellows, where 'ere you may be
Won't you find my sweet Nancy and bring her to me?
But, oh, you young ramblers, mind you take care
For I left my heart back at Hambledon Fair
Hambledon Fair!
Hambledon Fair!
For I left my heart back at Hambledon Fair
