Widecombe Fair (song)
"Widecombe Fair", also called "Tom Pearce" (sometimes spelt "Tam Pierce"), is a Devon folk song about a man called Tom Pearce, whose horse dies after someone borrows it to travel to the Widecombe Fair, fair in Widecombe with his friends. Its refrain, chorus ends with a long list of the people travelling to the fair: "''Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all''." Some research suggests that the names originally referred to real people. As the last name in a long list, "Uncle Tom Cobley and all" has come to be used as a humorous colloquialism meaning "anyone and everyone". The surname is spelt as "Cobleigh" in some references. History The song was published by Sabine Baring-Gould in the book ''Songs and Ballads of the West'' (1889–91) (referring to the West Country in England), though it also exists in variant forms. The title is spelt "Widdecombe Fair" in the original publication, though "Widecombe" is now the sta ...
