The Girl From The Hiring Fair
I went down to the hiring fair for to sell my labour
And I noticed a maid in the very next row
And I hoped she'd be my neighbor
Imagine then my delight when the farmer picked us both
I spoke not a word in the cart to the farm
But my heart beat in my throat
My lodging was dry and my master fair
And I gave him full measure
But my envy grew like the corn in the field
For in his house was my treasure
And I'd 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
Well, I'd see her in my dreaming
And in my dreams caress
Her eyes, her lips and her dark brown hair
The curves beneath her dress.
But harvest time it came at last
So heavy was the task
That the women and the men worked side by side
And I had her near at last
And I swung harder with my scythe
Few words between us passed

And I cursed my tongue tied youthfulness
And I hoped that she'd hear my heart
When all was safely gathered in
And we sat down to rest
My trembling fingers touched her arm
And she placed them on her breast
And then she turned to me as the sun went down
And all my senses reeled
As we lay there on the scented ground
And the moon 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
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon
And the girl from the hiring fair
Oh, all were dancing in the lantern light
And music filled the air
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon
And the girl from the hiring fair
