[Verse]
Em C G D/F#
I went down to the hiring fair for to sell my labour
Em C Bm C
I noticed a maid in the very next row, I hoped she'd be my neighbour
G D/F# Em C
Imagine then my delight when the farmer picked us both
D
Though I spoke not a word on the cart to the farm
Em C
My heart beat in my throat
[Verse]
Em C G D/F#
My lodging was dry and my master fair, I gave him full measure
Em C Bm C
Like corn in the field my envy grew, for in his house was my treasure
G D/F# Em C
I watched her carry water, or drive cows from the byre
D
And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong
Em C Em C
And with it my desire
[Verse]
Em C G D/F#
I see her in my dreaming and in my dreams caress
Em C Bm C
Her lips, her eyes, her dark brown hair, the curves beneath her dress
G D/F# Em C
And harvest time it came at last, so heavy was our task
D
That the women and the men worked side by side
Em C Em C
So I had her near at last
[Verse]
Em C G D
I swung harder with my scythe, few words between us passed
Em C Bm C
I cursed my tongue-tied youthfulness, hoped she'd hear my heart
G D/F# Em C
When all was safely gathered in, we sat down to rest
D
My trembling fingers touched her arm
Em
She placed them on her breast
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em C G D/F#
She turned to me as the sun went down and all my senses reeled
Em C Bm C
We lay there on the scented ground 'til the moon rose over the field
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em C G D/F#
She was safely gathered in my arms when from the barn
Em C Bm C
Drifted the sound of a violin and we hurried to the farm
G D/F# Em C
All were dancing in the lantern light and music filled the air
D
And I thanked the stars and the harvest moon
Em
For the girl from the hiring fair
[Outro]
