Déanta - The Maid That Sold Her Barley
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
It's cold and raw the north winds blow
Am
Black in the morning early
When all the hills were covered with snow
Am
Oh, then it was winter fairly
[Verse 2]
Am
As I was riding o'er the moor
I met a farmer's daughter
Am
Her cherry cheeks and sloe-black hair
D
They caused my heart to falter
[Verse 3]
Am
I bowed my bonnet very low
To let her know my meaning
Am
She answered with a courteous smile
Her looks they were engaging
[Verse 4]
Am
"Where are you bound, my pretty maid
It's now in the morning early?"
Am
The answer that she made to me
D Am
"Kind sir, to sell me barley"
[Instrumental]
Am G (4x)
[Verse 5]
Am
"Now twenty guineas I've in my purse
And twenty more that's yearly
Am
You need not go to the market town
For I'll buy all your barley"
[Verse 6]
Am
If twenty guineas would gain the heart
Of the maid I love so dearly
Am
All for to tarry with me one night
D Am
And go home in the morning early
[Verse 7]
As I was riding o'er the moor
Am
The very evening after
It was my fortune for to meet
Am
The farmer's only daughter
[Verse 8]
Am
Although the weather being cold and raw
With her I thought to parley
Am
The answer then she made to me
D
"Kind sir, I've sold me barley"
[Outro] (repeat and fade to end)
