The High County Fair
Me oh my,
Look alive on the trail.
Me oh my,
Look alive on the trail.
You take the highway,
And I'll take the rail.
We'll meet together,
At the High County Fair.
I was born,
With nothing but my pack.
You were born,
With much more than that.
But we'll meet together,
Where no one will care.
We'll meet together,
At the High County Fair.
See the Sun,
She is mounting for the West.
See the Sun,
She is mounting on her crest.
The Sun will rise for all men,
With clean or matted hair.
When we meet together,
At the High County Fair.
Goodbye love,
Like a dove in the sky.
Goodbye love,
Such is life, I'll not cry.
You go to your mansion,
And I'll never dare.
Till' we meet together,
At the High County Fair.
Look alive on the trail.
Me oh my,
Look alive on the trail.
You take the highway,
And I'll take the rail.
We'll meet together,
At the High County Fair.
I was born,
With nothing but my pack.
You were born,
With much more than that.
But we'll meet together,
Where no one will care.
We'll meet together,
At the High County Fair.
See the Sun,
She is mounting for the West.
See the Sun,
She is mounting on her crest.
The Sun will rise for all men,
With clean or matted hair.
When we meet together,
At the High County Fair.
Goodbye love,
Like a dove in the sky.
Goodbye love,
Such is life, I'll not cry.
You go to your mansion,
And I'll never dare.
Till' we meet together,
At the High County Fair.

This has a lovely lilt to its rhyme and rhythm. I am not sure if I understand the text however the poetry is good. Perhaps you would explain more for me ?

Certainly! Two lovers are torn apart by societal norms, as one is from a wealthy family whilst the other was born in poverty. They separate on the trail so as not to be seen together, the wealthier taking the highway as they can afford transportation, while the other takes to jumping trains. They promise to meet at the High County Fair, where all walks of life can blend without judgement. At the end they part, the wealthier going back to their mansion. But they promise to meet once again when they go together again to the Fair.
Hope that cleared it up! Thank you.

Thank-you Graham I only partially guessed.the subject;however that does not distract from the poetry.
