Brilliant, I have loved this song for a very long time and have now added it to my set as an all time favourite of mine. Brilliant again and thanks

Thank you for uploading this tender, wise performance it feels like he's singing to each of us, personally, and one musician, his guitar and voice , his song, are pure gold!

The birds are in the wrong key ‼️ 🎼🎵🎶🪗🎹🎵🎶

Ralph will always be remembered for Streets of London, but Girl from the Hiring Fair and Red and Gold are right up there with it. Just magnificent.

brilliant playing and a voice with a tembre reminding me of Nic Jones... wonderfull, thank you

It's such a beautiful song 😊

Sounds wonderful on 12-string (which I think is tuned down 3 frets to C# F# B E G# C#)

I went down to the hiring fair for to sell my labour I noticed a maid in the very next row and I hoped she'd be my neighbour Imagine then my delight when the farmer picked us both I spoke not a word on the cart to the farm, but my heart beat in my throat My lodging was dry and my master fair and I gave him full measure But my envy grew like the corn in the field for in his house was my treasure And I'd watch her carry water, or drive cows from the byre And the heat from the sun made the corn grow strong and with it my desire Well I'd see her in my dreaming and in my dreams caress Her eyes, her lips her dark brown hair, the curves beneath her dress But harvest time it came at last and so heavy was the task That the women and the men worked side by side and I had her near at last And I swung harder with my scythe, few words between us passed And I cursed my tongue-tied youthfulness and I hoped she'd hear my heart And when all was safely gathered in and we sat down to rest My trembling fingers touched her arm, and she placed them on her breast Then she turned to me as the sun went down and all my senses reeled And we lay there on the scented ground and the moon rose over the field She was safely gathered in my arms when from the barn Drifted the sound of a violin and we hurried back to the farm And all were dancing in the lantern light and music filled the air And I thanked my stars for the harvest moon and the girl from the hiring fair

Just superb.

I love his little explanations, lovely bloke and one of the greatest folk guitarists ever.

Stunning

Been a fan for years greetings from Eire,

Well sung - shame about the music ... 😒

This has remained one of my favourite songs both because because of the singer and the song.

I had played this song in the 1970s - but after seeing this great version, I decided to record a new cover version of the song. here it is: ua-cam.com/video/YseWtmbOHvM/v-deo.htmlsi=M0loMI1oaRqY0v7z

thanks for these memories

Just I have seen DANNY COLLINS film and first time hear you STEVE. Wish you a lot of health - I am a bit older.

Ralph you are the reason I play guitar since 1980 you are a legend

Here am i still loving this song .

Ralph does not usually play a 12 string Guitar.

love this song so much

Beautiful song! Thank you.

The absolutely most romantic song ever written (and it is best sung by Ralph McTell).

Such a beautiful somg. I played and performed it 40 years ago and plan to record it again for a youtube version for my other channel (gregorheinrich). Ralph has clearly tuned down the guitar a full step. But it also gives the 12-string a unique tone in this clip. -- / here is the cover: ua-cam.com/video/YseWtmbOHvM/v-deo.htmlsi=YfdQsBTaPuCOhy2F

This is such an emotionally inspirational song it hit me in the heart every time I hear it.

Wonderful, soulful song well done, thank you sir 💜

Best song writer in the UK

A beautiful song with beautiful playing. Hypnotising lyrics. We never will but it I imagine having a beer would be really good.

It would be great to hear this song as a duet with each party singing the male and female parts respectively. But any which way it is and remains one of my all time favourites, ever since I first heard it on Wogan’s radio show.

Beautiful😊

lovely!!!!!!

One of my favourite songs by Ralph, pat

A real British treasure

Incredible.

What tuning is this? Is wonderful ❤

This is a gorgeous song by wonderful musicians. Really appreciate it. X
