Irish Moutarde - The Bear and the Maiden Fair lyrics

A bear there was (a bear!, a bear!) All black and brown Covered with hair With a good flair Oh come they said Come to the fair Come to the fair? But I'm a bear! And down the road From here to there Three boys, a goat And a dancing bear They danced and spun Up to the fair Oh look my friend There's a maiden here He smelled the scent In the maiden's hair She is so sweet So pure and fair He sniffed the air And smelled it there The maiden's here With honey in her hair He is a hairy bear He wants to come to the fair I am a maiden fair With honey in my hair He's a dancing bear He wants to drink some beer I'm really standing here In front of a crazy bear Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair She'll never dance with a hairy bear She'll never dance with a hairy bear He lifted her high into the air She called for a knight but he's a bear All black and brown and full of hair She kicked and wailed the maid so fair He licked the honey from her hair She looked so sweet So pure and fair Honey and gold In her long hair She is a maid And she is fair She doesn't care About a bear (a hairy bear!) Oh wait my bear Oh please come here I'm so lonely And not so fair Come to the fair With all your hair We'll have some fun And an affair He is a hairy bear He wants to come to the fair I am a maiden fair With honey in my hair He's a dancing bear He wants to drink some beer I'm really standing here In front of a crazy bear Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair She'll never dance with a hairy bear She'll never dance with a hairy bear He lifted her high into the air She called for a knight but he's a bear All black and brown and full of hair She kicked and wailed the maid so fair He licked the honey from her hair Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair She'll never dance with a hairy bear She'll never dance with a hairy bear He lifted her high into the air She called for a knight but he's a bear All black and brown and full of hair She kicked and wailed the maid so fair He licked the honey from her hair Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair She'll never dance with a hairy bear She'll never dance with a hairy bear He lifted her high into the air She called for a knight but he's a bear All black and brown and full of hair She kicked and wailed the maid so fair He licked the honey from her hair She sighed and squealed And kicked the air My bear she sang My bear so fair And off they went From here to there The bear the bear And the maiden fair
