Clyde Waters (Child 216)
Anaïs Mitchell, Jefferson Hamer
D G
Willie stands in his stable door
D A7 D
And he's combing his coal black steed
G
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
D A7 D
And his heart began to bleed
D G
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
D A7
Help me tie them on
D G
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
D A7 D
Before the night comes on"
D G
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
D A7 D
Tonight there comes a storm
G
I'll lay the table handsomely
D A7 D
Your bed be soft and warm"
D G
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
D A7
They cannot bring me rest
D G
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
D A7 D
Before the night has passed"
D G
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
D A7 D
My curse will go with thee
G
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
D A7 D
Drowned you shall be"
D G
"The good steed that I ride upon
D A7
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
D G
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
D A7 D
To take me safe and sound"
D G
He's rode over the high, high hill
D A7 D
Down the dewy glen
G
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
D A7 D
Would have feared five hundred men
D G
"Roaring Clyde, you roar so loud
D A7
Your streams are wondrous strong
D G
Make me a wreck as I come back
D A7 D
Spare me as I'm going"
D G
And when he came to fair Margaret's gate
D A7 D
He's called to her within
G
"Rise up, rise up, maid Margaret
D A7 D
Rise up and let me in!"
D G
"Who's that stands at my garden gate
D A7
Calling maid Margaret's name?"
D G
"It's only your first love, sweet William
D A7 D
This night come to your home -
D G
Open your door, maid Margaret
D A7 D
Open and let me in
G
My boots are full of the Clyde Water
D A7 D
And I'm shivering to the skin"
D G
"My stable is full of horses, Willie
D A7
My barns are full of hay
D G
And my bowers are full of gentlemen
D A7 D
They'll not remove 'til day"
D G
"Fare thee well, maid Margaret
D A7 D
Fair thee well, adieu
D G
B curse my mother laid on me
D A7 D
For coming this night to you"
D G
He's rode over the high, high hill
D A7
Down the dewy glen
D G
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
D A7 D
Took Willie's hat from him
D G
Then he's leaned him over the saddlebow
D A7 D
To fetch his hat again
G
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
D A7 D
Took Willie's coat from him
D G
And he's leaned him over his saddlebow
D A7
To catch his coat by force
D G
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
D A7 D
Took Willie from his horse
D G
The very hour this young man sank
D A7
Down in the water deep
D G
Then up and rose maid Margaret
D A7 D
Out of her drowsy sleep
D G
"Come here, come here, my mother dear
D A7
I've dreamed a dreary dream
D G
I dreamed my lover was at our gate
D A7 D
And nobody let him in"
D G
"Lie down, lie down, maid Margaret
D A7 D
Your lover's come and gone
G
The sport you would have made with him
D A7 D
I've played it for my own"
D G
Nimbly, nimbly, rose she up
D A7
Down to the river's brim
D G
But the louder that this lady cried
D A7 D
The louder blew the wind
[Break]
D G D A7 D G D A7 D
D G
The very first step that Margaret took
D A7 D
She stepped up to her feet
G
And "Oh, and alas", this lady sighs
D A7 D
"Your water's wondrous deep"
D G
And the very next step that she went in
D A7
She's waded to her knee
D G
Says she, "I would wade farther in
D A7 D
If I my true lover could see"
D G
And the very last step that she went in
D A7 D
She stepped up to her chin
G
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
D A7 D
She found sweet William in
D G
"You have had a cruel mother, Willie
D A7
I have had another
D G
And now we sleep in Clyde Water
D A7 D
Like sister and like brother"
