- (continued from previous page)Verse (II)Twas on a bright May morning
And everything looked gay.
As I went to Killeter
A few hours there to stay
And soon I spied this handsome maid
With lovely golden hair
I thought she was an angel
Come to Killeter Fair.
(III)Now we have got married
And are happy as you know
We always feel light-hearted
Let it either sleet or snow
As she sits about the fireside
She laughs quite hearty there
Saying, John, the first place that we met
Was in Killeter Fair
(IV)We are blessed with a family
Two girls and a boy
They are the sunshine of our home
Our heart's delight and joy
The young one it will join and laugh
And say while in the chair
The first place that you met mamma
Was in Killeter Fair
