Luyện nghe bài hát The Girl From The Hiring Fair

I down to the hiring fair for to sell my labour,
And I noticed a maid in the very row and I hoped she'd be my neighbour.
Imagine then my delight when the picked us both.
I not a word in the cart to the farm, but my heart beat in my throat.

My lodging was dry and my fair and I gave him full measure,
But my envy grew like the corn in the for in his house was my treasure,
And I'd watch her water, or drive cows from the byre,
And the heat the sun made the corn grow strong and with it my desire.

I'd see her in my dreaming and in my dreams caress
Her eyes, her lips and her dark hair, the curves beneath her dress.
But harvest time it came at last, so was the task
That the women and the men worked by side and I had her near at last,

And I swung harder with my scythe, few words us passed,
And I cursed my youthfulness and I hoped that she'd hear my heart.
When all was safely gathered in and we sat down to
My trembling fingers touched her arm, and she them on her breast.

And then she turned to me as the sun went down and all my reeled,
As we lay there on the scented and the moon rose over the field.

She was safely gathered in my arms from the barn
Drifted the sound of a violin and we hurried to the farm,
And all dancing in the lantern light and music filled the air,
And I thanked my stars for the harvest and the girl from the hiring fair.

Oh all were dancing in the lantern light and filled the air,
And I thanked my for the harvest moon and the girl from the hiring fair.
