Amos and Jen-

Here's one my uncle used to sing. It's got haying in it, and ghosts. What more could a little tyke who's into mowing want?(copy and paste into WORD/TIMES/12 to line up the chords):

Traditional
As sung by Richard Dyer-Bennet

THE REAPER'S GHOST


Dm-------------------------------C--------------Dm-Am
Do not cross the hayfield, the hay field, the hay field;
Dm------------------------------Am
Do not cross the hay field, as sinks the blood red sun,
----Dm-----------------------------------------C--------------Dm-Am
For ghosts glide from the hay ricks, in the hay field, the hay field,
Dm-------------------------------------C---------------------Dm
Ghosts glide from the hay ricks, as sinks the blood red sun.

The farmer crossed the hay field, the hayfield, the hayfield;
The farmer crossed the hay field, as sank the blood red sun,
And he passed behind the hay ricks, in the hay field, the hay field,
And he passed behind the hay ricks, as sank the blood red sun.

The sun sank down and the moon rose, on the hay field, the hay field;
The sun sank down and the moon rose, on the dark hay field,
And a cry came from the hay ricks, the hay ricks, the hay ricks,
A cry came from the hay ricks, it was the farmer's ghost.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
