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