about
When I was young, we had a gorgeous Staffy called Belle,
named after this song. My parents sing this song, I’ve always loved
it and feel it’s part of the family.
lyrics
At Whitsun fair in Huntley town one evening for to see,
I met with Bogey O’ Cairnie and with himI did agree.
To drive his two best horses, for horses I know how,
Oh to drive his two best horses, likewise his cart or plough.
Oh Bogey had a daughter, her name was Isabelle,
She’s the lily of the valley and the primrose of the dell.
When she went out walking, she took me for a guide,
Down by the banks of Cairnie to watch the small fish glide.
Now three long months had passed and gone, and Belle she lost her bloom,
And the roses fell from off her cheeks and she began to swoon.
When nine months had passed and gone, she bore to me a son,
Oh and I was quickly sent for, to see what could be done.
I said that I would marry her, but no that would not do.
“For you’re no match for Isabelle and she’s no match for you”.
Now I’ve left old Huntley town, and all without my fee,
For I couldn’t watch my dear condemned to a life of misery.
Now she’s married to a tinker lad who comes from Huntley town,
Mending pots and pans and paraffin lamps, they scour the country round.
Oh she might have had a better match, of that I cannot tell,
So fare thee well old Huntley town and to Bogey’s bonnie Belle.
