The Bear And The Maiden Fair Lyrics - Irish Moutarde

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
