"O fairest of damsels, how can you say No? With you I do intend to Horn Fair for to go, We'll join the best of company when we do get there, With horns on their heads, boys, the finest at the Fair. They are the finest horns you did ever behold, They are the finest horns and are gilded with gold. So merrily, right merrily, to Horn Fair we did go, A jolly brisk couple boys, and all in a row." This song also seems to have been used at a Horn Fair at Charlton in Kent which, after a history dating at least from the 16th century, died out in 1872. In 1951 Mr Morrish of Great Allfields Farm, Balls Cross reintroduced the song. Mr Tom Stemp, then aged 75, said he could well remember it being sung by an old Ebernoe woodman, David Baker, who died in 1943 at the age of eighty. The folk duo Spiers and Boden also sing this version of the song.
