##Fairport Convention#She moves through the fair (What we did on our holidays)#By Marcel Veltman##Who can say something sensible about the origin of this song? Many people believe it is a#mediaeval traditional, but problably it was made up somewhere in the 19th century just to#sound like one. There are even rumours that it is a complete hoax, brought into being by#a young American named Randy Newman, long before he himself outfamed this song and#everyone who ever sang it. If this is true, he never claimed the joke, nor the royalties#when The Simple Minds took the melody for their mega-selling hitsingle 'Belfast Child'##D, C, G, D,#DMy young love said to meC DMy mother don't mindAnd my father won't sligh youC DFor your lack of kindC DAnd she laid her hand on meC AmAnd this is she did sayC DIt will not be long loveC DTill our wedding dayD, C, Am, C, D, C, G, DAnd she went away from meShe moves through the fairAnd fondly I watched herMove here and move thereAnd then she went homewardOnly one star awakeLike a swan in the eveningMoves over the lakeLast night she came to meMy dead love came inSo softly she cameThat her feet made no dinAnd she laid her hand on meAnd this she did sayOh, it will not be long loveTill our wedding day
