I went down to the hiring fair for to sell my labor,
And I noticed a maid in the very next row and I hoped she'd be my neighbor
Imagine then my delight when the farmer picked us both
I spoke not a word in the cart to the farm,
But my heart beat in my throat
My lodging was dry and my master fair and I gave him full measure,
But my envy grew like the corn in the field for in his house was my treasure,
And I'd watch her carry water, or drive cows from the byre,
And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong and with it my desire
Well I'd see her in my dreaming and in my dreams caress
Her eyes, her lips and her dark brown hair, the curves beneath her dress
But harvest time it came at last, so heavy was the task
That the women and the men worked side by side and I had her near at last
And I swung harder with my scythe, few words between us passed,
And I cursed my tongue-tied youthfulness and I hoped that she'd hear my heart
When all was safely gathered in and we sat down to rest
My trembling fingers touched her arm, and she placed them on her breast
And then she turned to me as the sun went down
And all my senses reeled,
As we lay there on the scented ground
And the moon rose over the field
She was safely gathered in my arms when from the barn
Drifted the sound of a violin and we hurried back to the farm,
And all were dancing in the lantern light and music filled the air,
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon and the girl from the hiring fair
Oh all were dancing in the lantern light
And music filled the air,
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon
And the girl from the hiring fair
I went down to the hiring fair for to sell my labor,
And I noticed a maid in the very next row and I hoped she'd be my neighbor
Imagine then my delight when the farmer picked us both
I spoke not a word in the cart to the farm,
But my heart beat in my throat
My lodging was dry and my master fair and I gave him full measure,
But my envy grew like the corn in the field for in his house was my treasure,
And I'd watch her carry water, or drive cows from the byre,
And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong and with it my desire
Well I'd see her in my dreaming and in my dreams caress
Her eyes, her lips and her dark brown hair, the curves beneath her dress
But harvest time it came at last, so heavy was the task
That the women and the men worked side by side and I had her near at last
And I swung harder with my scythe, few words between us passed,
And I cursed my tongue-tied youthfulness and I hoped that she'd hear my heart
When all was safely gathered in and we sat down to rest
My trembling fingers touched her arm, and she placed them on her breast
And then she turned to me as the sun went down
And all my senses reeled,
As we lay there on the scented ground
And the moon rose over the field
She was safely gathered in my arms when from the barn
Drifted the sound of a violin and we hurried back to the farm,
And all were dancing in the lantern light and music filled the air,
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon and the girl from the hiring fair
Oh all were dancing in the lantern light
And music filled the air,
And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon
And the girl from the hiring fair
