In Ballyclare—hi were ye ever there?
In Ballyclare—wae the music in the air
In Ballyclare were ye ever in the square?
At the big May Fair o Ballyclare
Doon thonner by the Six Mile Waater
There lies doon there oor wee market toon
There's toons mair big, foo a chatter
But naw when oor May Fair cums aroon
Folk cums fae near an fae far awa
Tae buy hardware there an claes tae wear
Fold's fir tae fin there ocht ava
At the big May Fair o Ballyclare
Chorus:
Wae a wadge o yellaman in their han
Folk birl aroon an roon tae the chune
Fae the fiddle o the music man
On the big man street baith up an doon
A horse an a cart an a cuddie on the street
A bull an a coo an a soo an even mair
A billy goat, an nanny goat yeese wull meet
At the big May Fair o Ballyclare
Chorus:
Doon thonner by the Six Mile Waater
There lies doon there oor wee market toon
There's toons mair big, mair foo a chatter
But naw when oor May Fair cums aroon
