(Intro:)
Am G Am G
Am Am/E Am /B C C/G C /B
Eli the barrowboy of the old town
Am Am/E Am /B C C/G
Sells coal and marigolds and he cries out
G Am Am/E Am G Am Am/E Am G
All down the day
Am Am/E Am /B C C/G C /B
Below the tamaracks he is crying
Am Am/E Am /B C C/G
Corncobs and candlewax for the buying
G Am Am/E Am G Am Am/E Am G
All down the day
FWould I could afford to buy my love a Cfine robe
FMade of gold and silk Arabian Amthread
FShe is dead and gone and lying in the Cpine grove
And GI must push my barrow all the Amday Am/E Am
And GI must push my barrow all the Amday Am/E

Eli the barrowboy when they found him
Am Am/E Am /B C C/G
Dressed all in corduroy, he had drowned in
G Am Am/E Am G Am Am/E Am G
The river down the way
Am Am/E Am /B C C/G C /B
They lay his body down in a churchyard
Am Am/E Am /B C C/G
But still when the moon is out with his pushcart
G Am Am/E Am G Am Am/E Am G
He calls down the day
FWould I could afford to buy my love a Cfine gown
FMade of gold and silk Arabian Amthread
But FI am dead and gone and lying in the Cchurch ground
But Gstill I push my barrow all the Amday Am/E Am
G Am Am/E Am Am/E Am Am/E Am
But still I push my barrow all the day
