Clyde Waters (Child 216)
Anaïs Mitchell, Jefferson Hamer
A# D#
Willie stands in his stable door
A# F7 A#
And he's combing his coal black steed
D#
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
A# F7 A#
And his heart began to bleed
A# D#
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
A# F7
Help me tie them on
A# D#
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
A# F7 A#
Before the night comes on"
A# D#
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
A# F7 A#
Tonight there comes a storm
D#
I'll lay the table handsomely
A# F7 A#
Your bed be soft and warm"
A# D#
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
A# F7
They cannot bring me rest
A# D#
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
A# F7 A#
Before the night has passed"
A# D#
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
A# F7 A#
My curse will go with thee
D#
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
A# F7 A#
Drowned you shall be"
A# D#
"The good steed that I ride upon
A# F7
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
A# D#
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
A# F7 A#
To take me safe and sound"
A# D#
He's rode over the high, high hill
A# F7 A#
Down the dewy glen
D#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
A# F7 A#
Would have feared five hundred men
A# D#
"Roaring Clyde, you roar so loud
A# F7
Your streams are wondrous strong
A# D#
Make me a wreck as I come back
A# F7 A#
Spare me as I'm going"
A# D#
And when he came to fair Margaret's gate
A# F7 A#
He's called to her within
D#
"Rise up, rise up, maid Margaret
A# F7 A#
Rise up and let me in!"
A# D#
"Who's that stands at my garden gate
A# F7
Calling maid Margaret's name?"
A# D#
"It's only your first love, sweet William
A# F7 A#
This night come to your home -
A# D#
Open your door, maid Margaret
A# F7 A#
Open and let me in
D#
My boots are full of the Clyde Water
A# F7 A#
And I'm shivering to the skin"
A# D#
"My stable is full of horses, Willie
A# F7
My barns are full of hay
A# D#
And my bowers are full of gentlemen
A# F7 A#
They'll not remove 'til day"
A# D#
"Fare thee well, maid Margaret
A# F7 A#
Fair thee well, adieu
A# D#
G curse my mother laid on me
A# F7 A#
For coming this night to you"
A# D#
He's rode over the high, high hill
A# F7
Down the dewy glen
A# D#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
A# F7 A#
Took Willie's hat from him
A# D#
Then he's leaned him over the saddlebow
A# F7 A#
To fetch his hat again
D#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
A# F7 A#
Took Willie's coat from him
A# D#
And he's leaned him over his saddlebow
A# F7
To catch his coat by force
A# D#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
A# F7 A#
Took Willie from his horse
A# D#
The very hour this young man sank
A# F7
Down in the water deep
A# D#
Then up and rose maid Margaret
A# F7 A#
Out of her drowsy sleep
A# D#
"Come here, come here, my mother dear
A# F7
I've dreamed a dreary dream
A# D#
I dreamed my lover was at our gate
A# F7 A#
And nobody let him in"
A# D#
"Lie down, lie down, maid Margaret
A# F7 A#
Your lover's come and gone
D#
The sport you would have made with him
A# F7 A#
I've played it for my own"
A# D#
Nimbly, nimbly, rose she up
A# F7
Down to the river's brim
A# D#
But the louder that this lady cried
A# F7 A#
The louder blew the wind
[Break]
A# D# A# F7 A# D# A# F7 A#
A# D#
The very first step that Margaret took
A# F7 A#
She stepped up to her feet
D#
And "Oh, and alas", this lady sighs
A# F7 A#
"Your water's wondrous deep"
A# D#
And the very next step that she went in
A# F7
She's waded to her knee
A# D#
Says she, "I would wade farther in
A# F7 A#
If I my true lover could see"
A# D#
And the very last step that she went in
A# F7 A#
She stepped up to her chin
D#
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
A# F7 A#
She found sweet William in
A# D#
"You have had a cruel mother, Willie
A# F7
I have had another
A# D#
And now we sleep in Clyde Water
A# F7 A#
Like sister and like brother"
A# F7 C
