[G]Try for a [F#]lamp or a [Em]Spanish shawl or a [A]golden [D]filigre[G]e

[D]The finest [A]prize at [D]Fakenham [G]fair
[D]Is the pretty [A]carnival g[D]irl
VERSE:
Her hair was brown and her eyes were blue and her lips they were soft and red
I’d never seen such a shape as hers and my eyes nearly popped from my head
For I was young and innocent oh but still even I could see
the way she smiled and winked my way said ‘come take a chance on me’
*CHORUS*
VERSE:
My friends they said well she’s not for you oh what will the old people think
But I took my chance and I won that girl just as quick as an eye could wink
And the finest day in all my life whatever may come to pass
Was the day i went up to Fakenham Fair and won me the carnival lass
*CHORUS*
