Ralph McTell
Girl From The Hiring Fair
Em C G D
I went down to the hiring fair, for to sell my labour,
Em C Bm
and I noticed a maid in the very next row and I hoped that she’d be my
C
neighbour.
G D Em C D
Imagine then o my delight when the farmer picked us both.
G C Em D Em C
I spoke not a word in the cart to the farm but my heart beat in my throat.
Em C G D
My lodging was dry and my master fair and I gave him full measure,
Em C Bm C
But my envy grew like the corn in the field for in his house was my treasure.
G D Em C D
And I’d watch her carry water or drive cows from the byre,
G C Em D Em
And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong and with it my desire
C Em C
Em C G D
I’d see her in my dreaming and in my dreams caress.
Em C Bm C
Her eyes her lips and her dark brown hair the curves beneath her dress.
G D Em C D
When harvest time it came at last so heavy was the task
G C Em D Em
That the women and the men worked side by side and I had her near at last.
C Em C Em C
Em C G D
So I swung harder with my scythe few words between us passed,
Em C Bm
And I cursed my tongue tied youthfulness and I hoped that she’d hear my
C
heart.
G D Em C D
When all was safely gathered in and we sat down to rest
G C Em D Em C
My trembling fingers touched her arm and she placed them on her breast.
Em C G D
And she turned to me as the sun went down and all my senses reeled,
Em C Bm C
As we lay there on the scented ground and the moon rose over the field.
G / D / Em / C D / G / C Em / C / Em / C / Em / C
Em C G D
She was safely gathered in my arms when from the barn
Em C Bm C
Drifted the sound of the violin and we hurried back to the farm.
G D Em C D
And all were dancing in the lantern light and music filled the air
G C Em D
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon and the girl from the hiring
Em C Em C
fair.
G D Em C D
And all were dancing in the lantern light and music filled the air,
G C Em D
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon, and the girl from the hiring
Em C Em C Em C
fair.
