Oh attention pay ye country folk a wee while if ya please
I'll sing to you a verse or 2 to content you at me ease
It's all about a country maid her equal wasn't there
And the first place that i met the girl was in killeater fair
Her eyes they shone like diamonds and her cheeks are like the rose
She is me first and only love no matter where she goes
She stole me heart completely boys the truth i do declare
And the first place that i met the girl was in killeater fair
I invited her into edmond hughs a for to have a treat
We both went in together and sat down upon the seat
She said that she'd have lemonade i said i'll take a chair
For i never like to take strong drink while in killeater fair
Her eyes they shone like ...
She invited me to see her home in nahaloney glen
For many a pleasant afternoon with her since i did spend
Her father bid me welcome and he said he didn't a care
If i'd like to wed his daughter i met in killeater fair
Her eyes they shone like ...
And now we have got married and are happy as you know
We always feel right pleasant let the weather freeze or snow
She sits by the fireside there and laughs quite hearty there
John the first place that you met me it was in killeater fair
Her eyes they shone like ...
And now we're blest with children three, two girlies and a boy
They are the sunshine of our home our hearts' delight and joy
And says wee john as he laughs and sings upon his little chair
Ah the first place that you met my ma was in killeater fair.
