Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional
[00:08.191] It's cold and raw the north winds blow
[00:10.416] Black in the morning early
[00:12.666] When all the hills were covered with snow,
[00:15.176] Oh then it was winter fairly,
[00:17.417] As I riding was riding o'er the moor,
[00:19.925] I met a farmer's daughter,
[00:21.927] Her cherry cheeks and sloe black eyes,
[00:24.418] They caused my heart to falter.
[00:27.671] I bowed my bonnet very low
[00:29.931] To let her know my meaning.
[00:31.923] She answered with a courteous smile,
[00:34.434] Her looks they were engaging.
[00:36.933] "Where are you bound my pretty maid,
[00:39.420] It's now in the morning early."
[00:41.181] The answer that she made to me,
[00:43.437] "Kind sir to sell me barley."
[00:46.175][01:02.687]
[01:02.671] "Now twenty guineas I've in my purse,
[01:04.671] And twenty more that's yearly,
[01:06.933] You need not go to the market town,
[01:09.174] For I'll buy all your barley.
[01:11.432] If twenty gunieas would gain the heart
[01:13.680] Of the maid I love so dearly,
[01:15.927] All for to tarry with me one night,
[01:18.187] And go home in the morning early."
[01:22.175][01:23.934]
[01:24.185] As I was riding o'er the moor
[01:25.937] The very evening after,
[01:28.167] It was my fortune for to meet
[01:30.422] The farmer's only daughter.
[01:32.670] Although the weather being cold and raw,
[01:36.423] With her I thought to parley.
[01:37.176] This answer then she made to me,
[01:41.434] "Kind sir I've sold me barley."
