Clyde Waters (Child 216)
Anaïs Mitchell, Jefferson Hamer
A D
Willie stands in his stable door
A E7 A
And he's combing his coal black steed
D
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
A E7 A
And his heart began to bleed
A D
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
A E7
Help me tie them on
A D
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
A E7 A
Before the night comes on"
A D
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
A E7 A
Tonight there comes a storm
D
I'll lay the table handsomely
A E7 A
Your bed be soft and warm"
A D
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
A E7
They cannot bring me rest
A D
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
A E7 A
Before the night has passed"
A D
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
A E7 A
My curse will go with thee
D
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
A E7 A
Drowned you shall be"
A D
"The good steed that I ride upon
A E7
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
A D
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
A E7 A
To take me safe and sound"
A D
He's rode over the high, high hill
A E7 A
Down the dewy glen
D
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
A E7 A
Would have feared five hundred men
A D
"Roaring Clyde, you roar so loud
A E7
Your streams are wondrous strong
A D
Make me a wreck as I come back
A E7 A
Spare me as I'm going"
A D
And when he came to fair Margaret's gate
A E7 A
He's called to her within
D
"Rise up, rise up, maid Margaret
A E7 A
Rise up and let me in!"
A D
"Who's that stands at my garden gate
A E7
Calling maid Margaret's name?"
A D
"It's only your first love, sweet William
A E7 A
This night come to your home -
A D
Open your door, maid Margaret
A E7 A
Open and let me in
D
My boots are full of the Clyde Water
A E7 A
And I'm shivering to the skin"
A D
"My stable is full of horses, Willie
A E7
My barns are full of hay
A D
And my bowers are full of gentlemen
A E7 A
They'll not remove 'til day"
A D
"Fare thee well, maid Margaret
A E7 A
Fair thee well, adieu
A D
F# curse my mother laid on me
A E7 A
For coming this night to you"
A D
He's rode over the high, high hill
A E7
Down the dewy glen
A D
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
A E7 A
Took Willie's hat from him
A D
Then he's leaned him over the saddlebow
A E7 A
To fetch his hat again
D
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
A E7 A
Took Willie's coat from him
A D
And he's leaned him over his saddlebow
A E7
To catch his coat by force
A D
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
A E7 A
Took Willie from his horse
A D
The very hour this young man sank
A E7
Down in the water deep
A D
Then up and rose maid Margaret
A E7 A
Out of her drowsy sleep
A D
"Come here, come here, my mother dear
A E7
I've dreamed a dreary dream
A D
I dreamed my lover was at our gate
A E7 A
And nobody let him in"
A D
"Lie down, lie down, maid Margaret
A E7 A
Your lover's come and gone
D
The sport you would have made with him
A E7 A
I've played it for my own"
A D
Nimbly, nimbly, rose she up
A E7
Down to the river's brim
A D
But the louder that this lady cried
A E7 A
The louder blew the wind
[Break]
A D A E7 A D A E7 A
A D
The very first step that Margaret took
A E7 A
She stepped up to her feet
D
And "Oh, and alas", this lady sighs
A E7 A
"Your water's wondrous deep"
A D
And the very next step that she went in
A E7
She's waded to her knee
A D
Says she, "I would wade farther in
A E7 A
If I my true lover could see"
A D
And the very last step that she went in
A E7 A
She stepped up to her chin
D
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
A E7 A
She found sweet William in
A D
"You have had a cruel mother, Willie
A E7
I have had another
A D
And now we sleep in Clyde Water
A E7 A
Like sister and like brother"
