Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
F                                 
She is dead and gone and lying in

the pine grove

And I must push my barrow all the

And I must push my barrow all the

[Verse 2]

Am Am/E Am        /B        C  
Eli the barrowboy when they 
   C/G  C/B
found him
Am      Am/E   Am        /B     
Dressed all in corduroy, he had 
C      C/G
drowned in
    G              Am  Am/E Am G
The river down the way
 Am  Am/E Am G

Am   Am/E    Am        
They lay his body down in a 
/B   C     C/G  C/B
churchyard
Am  Am/E           Am          
But still when the moon is out 
/B       C   C/G
with his pushcart
   G              Am  Am/E Am G 
He calls down the day
Am Am/E Am G

F                                 
Would I could afford to buy my 
    C
love a fine gown
F                             Am
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
    F                              
But I am dead and gone and lying in
     C
 the church ground
    G                              
But still I push my barrow all the 
Am  Am/E Am
day
    G                              
But still I push my barrow all the 
Am  Am/E Am Am/E Am Am/E Am
day
