THE NEXT MARKET DAY
Trad. Irish Folk Song
Key: Em

-6* 7   6  -6*   6  -5 
A maid went to Comb-er 
 6  -4   5*  -5   6
her mar-kets to learn
-4  7   -7  -8  -9  -8
To sell for her mam-my 
  -8   -7   7   -7   -8 
three hanks of fine yarn
-7   7 -7   -8  -9
She met a young man 
-8 -8    -7    7   -7  -8
On the King’s own high-way
-8-7    7      6   -6*   6  -5
which caused this young dam-sel
6  -4  5* -5    6
to dal-ly and stray

 -6*  7    6  -6*  6  -5  
Come sit down be-side me 
6  -4   5* -5   6
I mean you no harm
 -4   7   -7  -8  -9  -8
Come sit down be-side me 
 -8  -7    7  -7   -8
this new tune to learn
 -7   7    -7  -8   -9  -8
Here are three new guin-eas 
 -8  -7  7  -7 -8
your mam-my to pay
-8-7  7    6  -6*    6   -5
So  leave off your learn-in
 6    -4   5* -5   6
till next mar-ket day

They sat down together the grass it was green
The day was the fairest that ever was seen
The look in your eye would lead angels astray
So lay by your yarn till the next market day

The maid she went home and the words that he said
The song that he sang her still rang in her head
She says I’ll go find him by land or by sea
Till he learns me the tune called The Next Market Day"
