Chords
Am C
Eli, the barrow boy Of the old town
Am C
Sells coal and marigolds As he cries out
G Am
All down the day
Am C
Below the tamaracks He is crying
Am C
Corn cobs and candle wax for the buying
G Am
All down the day
F C
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe
F Am
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
F C
But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
G Am
And I must push my barrow all the day
G Am
And I must push my barrow all the day
Am C
Eli, the barrow boy When they found him
Am C
Dressed all in corduroy He had drowned in
G Am
The river down the way
Am C
They laid his body down in a churchyard
Am C
But still when the moon is out With his push cart
G Am
He calls down the day
F C
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown
F Am
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
F C
But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground
G Am
And still I push my barrow all the day
G Am
Still I push my barrow all the day”
