made of gold and silk arabian thread
F                            C/G* 
She is dead and lying in the pine grove 
G                                 Am*
And I must push my barrow all the day 
G                                 Am*
and I must push my barrow all the day 

Eli the barrowboy when they found him 
dressed all in corderoy 
he had drowned in the river down the way 
they lay his body down in a churchyard 
but still when the moon is out 
with his pushcart he calls down the day 

would i could afford to buy my love a fine gown 
made of gold and silk arabian thread 
but i am dead and gone and lying in the church ground 
but still i push my barrow all the day 
but still i push my barrow all the day
