lyrics

Good people all who hear my voice, you now have reason to rejoice;
For off to Truro you may go, to see the Agricultural Show; But don't go kissing the girls you know, at Truro Agericultural Show.

A motley crew you will see there, fat farmers and their wives so rare
Their bounc'n daughters neat & clean, wi' a porkpie hat &a crinoline So don't go kissing the girls you know....

From Newlyn east and Saint Columb too, there's Humpback'd Jim
and Carroty Joe; and a special train upon the rail, to bring all the thieves from Bodmin Gaol. So don't go kissing the girls...

They've got a band from Plymouth down, the best that ever was in the town;
And all the gentry will be there -'tis most as pretty as Whitsun Fair! But don't go kissing the girls you know at Truro ....

There's horses, ponies, cows and calves, for Truro don't do things by halves - there be Devon bulls, sheep, pigs, and geese;
You can see it all for a shilling a piece! But don't go kissing the girls you know, at Truro Agericultural Show!

There's things up there that'll make you laugh, there's a two-legg'd cow and a nine-legg'd calf;
A billiy-goat that comes from Wales, with 16 eyes & 17 tails. So don't go kissing the girls you know, at Truro ....

Now all around I hear you say, "we'll see that show this very day.. So off we go, all in a row,
to Truro Agericultural Show!" And don't go kissing the girls you know, at Truro Agericultural Show
