I went down to the

hiring fair for to sell my labour,
Em
C
And I no ticed a maid in the very next row
Bm

and I hoped she'd be my neighbour.
G
D
Bm
Imagine then my delight when
Em
C
the farmer picked us both.
D
Bm
Em
C
I spoke not a word in the cart to the farm,
Em
C
but my heart beat in my throat.
Verse 2
Em
C
My lodging was dry and my master fair
G
D
and I gave him full measure,
Em
C
But my envy grew like the corn in the field
Bm
C
for in his house was my treasure,
G
D
And I'd watch her carry water,
Em
C
or drive cows from the byre,
D
Bm
G
C
And the heat from the sun made the corn grow
Em
C
Em
strong and with it my desire.

Em
C
Well I'd see her in my dreaming
G
D
and in my dreams caress
Em
C
Her eyes, her lips and her dark brown hair,
G
Bm
C
the curves beneath her dress.
G
D
But harvest time it came at last,
Em
C
so heavy was the task
D
Bm
C
That the women and the men worked side by side
Em
and I had her near at last,

Verse 4
Em
C
And I swung harder with my scythe,
G
D
few words between us passed,
Em
C
And I cursed my tongue-tied youthfulness youthfulness
Bm
C
and I hoped that she'd hear my heart.
G
D
When all was safely gathered
Em
C
in and we sat down to rest
D
Em
C
My trembling fingers touched her arm,
Em
and she placed them on her breast.
Verse 5
C
Em
C
And then she turned to me as the sun
G
D
went down and all my senses reeled,
Em
C
Bm
As we lay there on the scented ground and the moon
C
rose over the field.

She was safely gathered in my arms

when from the barn

Drifted the sound of a violin and we

hurried back to the farm,

And all were dancing in the lantern

light and music filled the air,
D

C
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon
Em
and the girl from the hiring fair.
