[Verse 1]
I went down to the hiring fair
For to sell my labour
Noticed a maid in the very next row
And hoped she'd be my neighbour
Imagine then my delight
When the farmer picked us both
Though I spoke not a word on the cart to the farm
My heart beat in my throat
[Verse 2]
My lodging was dry, my master fair
I gave him full measure
Like corn in the field my envy grew
For in his house was my treasure
Watch her carry water
Or drive cows from the byre
And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong
And with it my desire
[Verse 3]
I'd see her in my dreaming
In my dreams caress
Her lips, her eyes, her long brown hair
Curves beneath her dress
Harvest time it came at length
So heavy was our task
That the women and the men worked side by side
So I had her near at last
I went down to the hiring fair
For to sell my labour
Noticed a maid in the very next row
And hoped she'd be my neighbour
Imagine then my delight
When the farmer picked us both
Though I spoke not a word on the cart to the farm
My heart beat in my throat
[Verse 2]
My lodging was dry, my master fair
I gave him full measure
Like corn in the field my envy grew
For in his house was my treasure
Watch her carry water
Or drive cows from the byre
And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong
And with it my desire
[Verse 3]
I'd see her in my dreaming
In my dreams caress
Her lips, her eyes, her long brown hair
Curves beneath her dress
Harvest time it came at length
So heavy was our task
That the women and the men worked side by side
So I had her near at last
