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