Eli, The Barrow Boy Lyrics Artist(Band):The Decemberists
Of the old town Sells coal and marigolds And he cries out All down the day Below the tamaracks She is crying: “Corn cobs and candle wax for the buying” All down the day “Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe Made of gold and silk Arabian thread But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove And I must push my barrow all the day And I must push my barrow all the day” Eli, the barrow boy When they found him Dressed all in corduroy He had drowned in The river down the way They laid his body down in a church yard But still when the moon is out With his push cart 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 a church ground And still I push my barrow all the day Still I push my barrow all the day” If you find some error in Eli, The Barrow Boy Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Eli, The Barrow Boy I love that song | Reviewer: Lauren | 10/11/2007 Eli, The Barrow Boy | Reviewer: Chrissay! | 4/18/2007 When I asked for The Decemberists new cd, it was just on a whim that they would be good. As soon as I started listening to the cd, this was the first song that stuck in my mind. The storyline is a tad dark and morbid, recalling Edgar Lee Masters in his Spoon River Anthology. But the acoustic guitar is nice, and the vocals are good if a bit quiet. Overall a really amazing song.
