Clyde Waters (Child 216)
Anaïs Mitchell, Jefferson Hamer
C# F#
Willie stands in his stable door
C# G#7 C#
And he's combing his coal black steed
F#
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
C# G#7 C#
And his heart began to bleed
C# F#
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
C# G#7
Help me tie them on
C# F#
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
C# G#7 C#
Before the night comes on"
C# F#
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
C# G#7 C#
Tonight there comes a storm
F#
I'll lay the table handsomely
C# G#7 C#
Your bed be soft and warm"
C# F#
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
C# G#7
They cannot bring me rest
C# F#
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
C# G#7 C#
Before the night has passed"
C# F#
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
C# G#7 C#
My curse will go with thee
F#
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
C# G#7 C#
Drowned you shall be"
C# F#
"The good steed that I ride upon
C# G#7
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
C# F#
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
C# G#7 C#
To take me safe and sound"
C# F#
He's rode over the high, high hill
C# G#7 C#
Down the dewy glen
F#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
C# G#7 C#
Would have feared five hundred men
C# F#
"Roaring Clyde, you roar so loud
C# G#7
Your streams are wondrous strong
C# F#
Make me a wreck as I come back
C# G#7 C#
Spare me as I'm going"
C# F#
And when he came to fair Margaret's gate
C# G#7 C#
He's called to her within
F#
"Rise up, rise up, maid Margaret
C# G#7 C#
Rise up and let me in!"
C# F#
"Who's that stands at my garden gate
C# G#7
Calling maid Margaret's name?"
C# F#
"It's only your first love, sweet William
C# G#7 C#
This night come to your home -
C# F#
Open your door, maid Margaret
C# G#7 C#
Open and let me in
F#
My boots are full of the Clyde Water
C# G#7 C#
And I'm shivering to the skin"
C# F#
"My stable is full of horses, Willie
C# G#7
My barns are full of hay
C# F#
And my bowers are full of gentlemen
C# G#7 C#
They'll not remove 'til day"
C# F#
"Fare thee well, maid Margaret
C# G#7 C#
Fair thee well, adieu
C# F#
A# curse my mother laid on me
C# G#7 C#
For coming this night to you"
C# F#
He's rode over the high, high hill
C# G#7
Down the dewy glen
C# F#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
C# G#7 C#
Took Willie's hat from him
C# F#
Then he's leaned him over the saddlebow
C# G#7 C#
To fetch his hat again
F#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
C# G#7 C#
Took Willie's coat from him
C# F#
And he's leaned him over his saddlebow
C# G#7
To catch his coat by force
C# F#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
C# G#7 C#
Took Willie from his horse
C# F#
The very hour this young man sank
C# G#7
Down in the water deep
C# F#
Then up and rose maid Margaret
C# G#7 C#
Out of her drowsy sleep
C# F#
"Come here, come here, my mother dear
C# G#7
I've dreamed a dreary dream
C# F#
I dreamed my lover was at our gate
C# G#7 C#
And nobody let him in"
C# F#
"Lie down, lie down, maid Margaret
C# G#7 C#
Your lover's come and gone
F#
The sport you would have made with him
C# G#7 C#
I've played it for my own"
C# F#
Nimbly, nimbly, rose she up
C# G#7
Down to the river's brim
C# F#
But the louder that this lady cried
C# G#7 C#
The louder blew the wind
[Break]
C# F# C# G#7 C# F# C# G#7 C#
C# F#
The very first step that Margaret took
C# G#7 C#
She stepped up to her feet
F#
And "Oh, and alas", this lady sighs
C# G#7 C#
"Your water's wondrous deep"
C# F#
And the very next step that she went in
C# G#7
She's waded to her knee
C# F#
Says she, "I would wade farther in
C# G#7 C#
If I my true lover could see"
C# F#
And the very last step that she went in
C# G#7 C#
She stepped up to her chin
F#
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
C# G#7 C#
She found sweet William in
C# F#
"You have had a cruel mother, Willie
C# G#7
I have had another
C# F#
And now we sleep in Clyde Water
C# G#7 C#
Like sister and like brother"
