Cold And Raw chords by June Tabor

Intro:
Am   G   Am

Verse:
Am               G
Cold and raw the North did blow
Am                      Em
Bleak in the morning early
Am                 G
All the trees were hid in snow
Am                   Em
Dagl'd by winter yearly
C                G
Gentleman riding o'er the heather
Am                       Em
Met with a farmer's daughter
    C                   G
Her rosy cheeks and her bonny brow
     Am                  A
They made his mouth to water

Verse:
Am           G
Quickly he saluted me
Am                       Em
Meaning to shew his breeding
  Am                 G
I bowed to him right gracefully
    Am             Em
His courtesy exceeding
   C                G
He asked me where I went so soon
    Am                   Em
And longed to begin a parley
  C                     G
I told him, to the next market town
  Am                    A
A-purpose to sell me barley

Verse:
 Am                   G
"In this purse, sweet girl," says he
 Am                    Em
"Twenty pounds lie fairly
Am              G
Seek no further one to buy
    Am                    Em
For I'll take all your barley
C                 G
Twenty more would buy delight
     Am                 Em
Your body I love so dearly
   C                  G
If you would lay with me all night
       Am                     A
And go home in the morning early"

Instrumental:
Am   G   Am    Em
Am   G   Am    Em
C   G   Am   Em
C   G   Am   A

Verse:
    Am                  G
"If twenty pounds could buy the globe
     Am                 Em
It's this I'd never do, sir
   Am             G
Or were me kin as poor as Job
  Am                      Em
I would not raise 'em so, sir
C             G
If I lay with you this night
     Am                    Em
We'd get a young child together
    C                     G
And you'd be gone ere the nine months end
    Am                      A
And where should I find a father?"

Verse:
   Am             G
He told me he had married been
Am                    Em
Fourteen years and longer
   Am                G
Or else he'd take me for his own
    Am                     Em
And tie the knot much stronger
  C                 G
I bade him then, no further roam
    Am                     Em
But manage his wedlock fairly
    C                     G
And keep his gold for his wife at home
         Am                     A
And some other shall have my barley
