Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Meloy
[00:08.12] Eli, the barrowboy, you're the old town
[00:12.72] Sells coal and marigolds and he cries out all down the day
[00:23.28] Below the tamarack she is crying
[00:33.11] Corn cobs and candlewax for the buying, all down the day
[00:43.83] Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe
[00:54.72] Made of gold and silk arabian thread
[01:01.46] She is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
[01:09.44] And I must push my barrow all the day
[01:14.91] And I must push my barrow all the day
[01:22.31]
[01:45.35] Eli, the barrowboy, when they found him
[01:51.87] Dressed all in corduroy, he had drowned in the river down the way
[02:00.81] They laid his body down in a churchyard
[02:11.13] But still when the moon is out, with his pushcart, he calls down the day
[02:21.50] Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown
[02:33.09] Made of gold and silk arabian thread
[02:39.70] But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground
[02:47.00] But still I push my barrow all the day
[02:52.20] Still I push my barrow all the day
[02:58.37]
[03:03.87]
