Song: 5 5 -4 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 5
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
