NOW LET'S GO BACK... AH! MAIDEN FAIR
 MIDI File 20K, 3 min. 2 seconds.
Carboy:
Now let's go back to where we were,
And, if you please, remove the chair.
Chorus:
Rash man! again we say forbear!
Carboy:
Withdraw the chair!
Withdraw the chair!
(Enter Eliza Smith.)
Eliza:
Young man, I say, get out of that,
What on earth may you be at?
Destroy yourself? You shan't -- that's flat!
Chorus:
Rash man! forebear!
Rash man! forebear!
(They retire.)
Carboy:
Oh! cruel fate!
Oh! cruel fate!
Eliza: Apples! Oranges! Lemonade!
Gingerbeer! Soda water!
(Enter Thomas Brown.)
Brown:
That voice! that lovely voice I know so well!
Its accents tender make my bosom swell
With deep emotion! -- (sees Carboy) -- Ah! a rival here!
Eliza (tenderly):
Thomas dear!
Thomas dear!
DUET
Brown:
Ah! maiden fair,
Pray have a care,
You should not try your slave,
Beware, beware!
My feelings spare,
Give back the heart I gave.
Eliza:
Oh! Thomas Brown,
Withdraw the frown,
That mantles on your brow;
Around the town,
Both up and down,
There's none compared to you!
Brown:
Ah! maiden fair.
Eliza:
Oh! Thomas Brown.
Brown:
Pray have a care.
Brown:
Withdraw the frown.

Both:
Ah!
Oh come my love,
To the shady grove,
And there we'll roam alone;
And as we rove,
My love I'll prove,
Beneath the setting sun.
My love I'll prove,
Beneath the setting sun.
Oh come my love,
Oh come my love. |
The Pennine Players |
(They go up towards Refreshment Stall.)
