《The Hiring Fair》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hiring Fair - EGGIBRED

[00:00:23] I went down to the hiring fair for to sell my labour

[00:00:29] And i noticed a maid in the very next row and i hoped

[00:00:32] She'd be my neighbour

[00:00:35] Imagine then my delight when the farmer picked us both

[00:00:40] I spoke not a word in the cart to the farm but my

[00:00:46] Heart beat in my throat

[00:00:58] My lodging was dry and my master fair and himi gave

[00:01:02] Full measure

[00:01:04] Corn in the field my envy grew in for his

[00:01:08] House was my treasure

[00:01:10] And i'd watch her carry water or drive cows from the

[00:01:14] Byre

[00:01:16] And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong and

[00:01:21] With it my desire

[00:01:34] Well i'd see her in my dreaming and in my dreams caress

[00:01:40] Her lips her eyes and her dark brown hair the curves

[00:01:43] Beneath her dress

[00:01:46] But harvest time it came at last so heavy was the task

[00:01:51] That the women and the men worked side by side and i

[00:01:57] Had her near at last

[00:02:09] And i swung harder with my scythe few words between us

[00:02:13] Passed

[00:02:15] And i cursed my tongue-tied youthfulness and i hoped

[00:02:18] That she'd hear my heart

[00:02:21] When all was safely gathered in and we sat down to rest

[00:02:26] My trembling fingers touched her arm and she placed

[00:02:32] Them on her breast

[00:02:44] And then she turned to me as the sun went down and all

[00:02:47] My senses reeled

[00:02:50] As we lay there on the scented ground and the moon rose

[00:02:53] Over the field

[00:03:58] She was safely gathered in my arms when from the barn

[00:04:04] Drifted the sound of a violin and we hurried back to

[00:04:07] The farm

[00:04:09] And all were dancing in the lantern light and music

[00:04:13] Filled the air

[00:04:15] And i thanked my stars for the harvest moon and the

[00:04:20] Girl from the hiring fair
