Lyrics
THE MAID WHO SOLD HER BARLEY It's cold and raw, the north winds blow Black in the morning early When all the hills were covered with snow Oh then it was winter fairly As I was riding o'er the moor I met a farmer's daughter Her cherry cheeks and sloe-black hair They caused my heart to falter I bowed my bonnet very low To let her know my meaning She answered with a courteous smile Her looks they were engaging "Where are you bound my pretty maid It's now in the morning early?" The answer that she made to me "Kind sir, to sell my barley" "Now twenty guineas I've in my purse And twenty more that's yearly You need not go to the market town For I'll buy all your barley If twenty guineas would gain the heart Of the maid I love so dearly All for to tarry with me one night And go home in the morning early" As I was riding o'er the moor The very evening after It was my fortune for to meet The farmer's only daughter Although the weather being cold and raw With her I thought to parlay The answer that she made to me "Kind sir, I've sold me barley"

Absolutely fabulous! What a celtic progressive rock masterpiece! Just stunning in all ways..perofrmance, mix, writing..all of it. What a piece of fabulous work. Standing ovation!!
This is a wonderful mix of genres for the CBC Irish/Celtic Song Challenge. The vocal is great with lyrics and playing all blended for perfect Celtic/Irish mood. Your musicianship shines brightly on this lively song.

Excellent mixture of top notch prog rock with celtic moods all seasoned with fully creative and amusing vocals. Killer guitar riffs and a capella singing.

Woo hoo! Absolutely fantastic chunk of celtic heavy prog. This is right up my street Knud Erik I'll have to nick this one! Top pro production, awesome drums, razor sharp guitars and killer vocals - those acapella sections are pure genius! Amazing!

Have to agree with the HUGE comment, really is a big-sounding tune. Excellent in every way, got the feel just right, brilliant production, awesome sounding guitars, even the vocals have an Irish lilt to them. Nice one Knud-Eric :)

Hi Knud. Very powerful piece with great guitarplaying. A little bit Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy with some powerful celtic metal chords on top. Great stuff!
