Eli the barrow boy, of the old town
 5     5   -4   5 -4  4  -4  5    6    5
Sells coal and marigolds and he cries out
-6 6  5   -4  5 -4 4 -3"
 All down the day


 5 5  -4   5 -4 4   -4 5   6 5
Below the tamaracks he is crying
 5    5   -4   5 -4  4  -4   5   6 5
Corn cobs and candlewax for the buying
-6 6  5   -4  5 -4 4 -3"
 All down the day


 -6   6  -6   6 -6   6  -6  6   5   6  6    5
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe
 -6  6   -6   6  -6  6 -6 6 5 6  -6 
Made of gold and silk Arabian   thread
 6  -6  6   -6   6   -6   6  -6 6  5  6  6     5
But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
-4   -4  -4  -4  -4 -4 -4   5  -5   5
And still I push my barrow all the day
 -4  -4  -4  -4 -4  4  -3  -3" -3"
still I push my barrow all the day
