The Hiring Fair - EGGIBRED
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 neighbour
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 himi gave
Full measure
Corn in the field my envy grew in for 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 lips her eyes 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
