Blacksmith at the Folshire Fair
by unknown
 
Come listen a while and I'll tell you of a blacksmith and his wife
and how they came to the Folshire fair and found an ending strife-
but it's all in jest and only serves to make you all aware
of the marvoles good humor of the people at the fair
 
A lusty knight was kissing the Blacksmith's wife so bold and quick-
The blacksmith did assert himself and grabbed him by the neck-
The knight was full amazed to be a dangl'in in the air-
"What most effective kisses have these ladies at the fare"
 
Folshire fare, my friends, folshire fare-
The knights do battle near Seattle
in their armour there.
 
The burly knight then turned about and did himself assert-
He grabbed the smith in a hug so tight he scarce could bare the hurt-
Through the crack'lin of the ribs the passers by did all declare,
"How inspiringly affectionate are these people at the fare."
 
Chorous
 
The Blacksmith grabbed a chicken -which was all there was at hand-
and with it beat the knight across the tourneyment field they ran-
and all the other fighters just dropped their weapons and stared-
"What strange, unorthodox weapons have these fighters at the fare"
 
Chorus
 
Then the blacksmith and the knight came to the dancer's place-
They were trying to kick each other's shins at a fast and furious pace-
Which made the dancers jump for joy and shout aloud, "What flare!"
"What strange and awsome dances have these people at the fare!"
 
Chorus
 
The knight crept into a potato sack but the blacksmith saw him hide- and beat the sack with a great big stick as to the cook he cried,
"I'm mashing your potatos!"- The cook could only stare,
"How curiously helpful are these people at the fare?"
 
Chorus
 
Then another sword stuck out from that potato sack
Followed by a man a'yellin "Now, I'll get'cha back!"
And as they went covorting off, the cook sat in his chair;
"How absolutely crazy are these people at the fare!"
 
Chorus
