Eli, the barrow boy Of the old town


Am Am C C
Sells coal and marigolds As he cries out

G G Am Am
All down the day


Am Am C C
Below the tamaracks He is crying


Am Am C C
Corn cobs and candle wax for the buying

G G Am Am
All down the day




F F C C
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe


F F Am Am
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread


F F C C
But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove

G G Am Am
And I must push my barrow all the day

G G Am Am
And I must push my barrow all the day



Am Am C C
Eli, the barrow boy When they found him


Am Am C C
Dressed all in corduroy He had drowned in

G G Am Am
The river down the way

Am Am C C
They laid his body down in a churchyard

Am Am C C
But still when the moon is out With his push cart


G G Am Am
He calls down the day




F F C C
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown

F F Am Am
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread


F F C C
But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground

G G Am Am
And still I push my barrow all the day

G G Am Am
Still I push my barrow all the day”
