Based on a Devon folk song: Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Pete Davey, Dan'l Widden, Harry Hawke, and Uncle Tom Colby all borrow Tom Pearse's gray mare for transportation to Widecombe Fair. Taking turns on the mount, the men arrive in Widecombe to dance and play and talk and eat and drink; but on the return trip, they all attempt to ride her home at once. Poor mare!
