The bouzouki I'm playing on this video is handmade by Heiner Dreizehnter, Leutkirch, Germany. Unfortunately he died about two years ago. RIP!
{t:The Maid That Sold Her Barley}
It’s [Gm]cold and raw, the north winds blow
Black in the [F]morning [Gm]early
When [Gm]all the hills were covered with snow
Oh then it was [F]winter [Gm]fairly.
As [Gm]I was riding o’er the moor
I met a farmer’s daugh[Dm]ter
Her [Gm]cherry cheeks and coal-black hair
They caused my [Dm]heart to [C]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 gave 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 gave to me
"Kind sir, I've sold my barley."

Another awesome song that I haven't heard before. Thanks!
And thank you, too, for the chords.
Do you have your capo at the third fret? It is a little hard to tell from your video...

Hi Floyd,
Capo on the 2nd fret. Have fun practising. I will post some more in the future. Did you find the songs on my website?
All the best
