- Attention, honest country folks a wee while if you please
And I sing to you a verse or two to amuse you at my ease
Its all about a handsome maid to find her equal would be rare
And the first place that I met her was in Killeter Fair.

Oh, her eyes they shone like diamonds

She is my first & only love no matter where she goes.
She stole my heart completely boys: the truth I must declare
& the first place that I met her
Was in Killeter Fair.
