It's cCold and rEmaw the noFmaj7rth winds blGow
BlaAmck in the moGrning earAmly,
When aCll the hEmills were Fmaj7covered with sCnow
Oh thAmen it was wGinter faAmirly.
As AmI was rEmiding Co'er the mAmoor
I Cmet a faFmaj7rmer's dauEghter
Her chCerry chEmeeks and slowFmaj7-black hGair
TheAmy caused my hGeart to fAmalter.
I bCowed my bEmonnet vFma7ery lGow
To Amlet her kGnow my mAmeaning.
She aCnswered wEmith a cFmaj7ourteous sCmile
Here lAmooks theyG were engAmaging.
"WAmhere are Emyou boundC my preAmtty maid
It's nCow in the mFmaj7orning eEarly?"
The aCnswer that Emshe mFma7ade to Gme,
"AmKind sir,G to sellAm my barley."
"CNow tweEmnty guineaFmaj7s I've inG my purse
And tAmwenty moGre that's yAmearly.
You neCed not go Emto the mFmaj7arket tCown
For IAm'll buy aGll your bAmarley.
If twAmenty guEmineas-would gCain the hAmeart
Of the mCaid I lFmaj7ove so deEarly,
All fCor to tEmarry with-meFma7 one nGight
And Amgo home in the mGorning eAmarly."
As CI was rEmiding Fmaj7o'er the moGor
The Avery evGening aAmfter,
It Cwas my foEmrtune Fmaj7for to meCet
The fAmarmer's oGnly dauAmghter.
AlthAmough the wEmeather-being cCold and rAmaw
With Cher I thFmaj7ought to pEarley
The aCnswer thatEm she Fmaj7made to Gme,
"AmKind sir, IG've soldAm my barley."
