Clyde Waters (Child 216)
Anaïs Mitchell, Jefferson Hamer
G C
Willie stands in his stable door
G D7 G
And he's combing his coal black steed
C
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
G D7 G
And his heart began to bleed
G C
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
G D7
Help me tie them on
G C
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
G D7 G
Before the night comes on"
G C
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
G D7 G
Tonight there comes a storm
C
I'll lay the table handsomely
G D7 G
Your bed be soft and warm"
G C
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
G D7
They cannot bring me rest
G C
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
G D7 G
Before the night has passed"
G C
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
G D7 G
My curse will go with thee
C
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
G D7 G
Drowned you shall be"
G C
"The good steed that I ride upon
G D7
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
G C
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
G D7 G
To take me safe and sound"
G C
He's rode over the high, high hill
G D7 G
Down the dewy glen
C
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
G D7 G
Would have feared five hundred men
G C
"Roaring Clyde, you roar so loud
G D7
Your streams are wondrous strong
G C
Make me a wreck as I come back
G D7 G
Spare me as I'm going"
G C
And when he came to fair Margaret's gate
G D7 G
He's called to her within
C
"Rise up, rise up, maid Margaret
G D7 G
Rise up and let me in!"
G C
"Who's that stands at my garden gate
G D7
Calling maid Margaret's name?"
G C
"It's only your first love, sweet William
G D7 G
This night come to your home -
G C
Open your door, maid Margaret
G D7 G
Open and let me in
C
My boots are full of the Clyde Water
G D7 G
And I'm shivering to the skin"
G C
"My stable is full of horses, Willie
G D7
My barns are full of hay
G C
And my bowers are full of gentlemen
G D7 G
They'll not remove 'til day"
G C
"Fare thee well, maid Margaret
G D7 G
Fair thee well, adieu
G C
E curse my mother laid on me
G D7 G
For coming this night to you"
G C
He's rode over the high, high hill
G D7
Down the dewy glen
G C
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
G D7 G
Took Willie's hat from him
G C
Then he's leaned him over the saddlebow
G D7 G
To fetch his hat again
C
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
G D7 G
Took Willie's coat from him
G C
And he's leaned him over his saddlebow
G D7
To catch his coat by force
G C
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
G D7 G
Took Willie from his horse
G C
The very hour this young man sank
G D7
Down in the water deep
G C
Then up and rose maid Margaret
G D7 G
Out of her drowsy sleep
G C
"Come here, come here, my mother dear
G D7
I've dreamed a dreary dream
G C
I dreamed my lover was at our gate
G D7 G
And nobody let him in"
G C
"Lie down, lie down, maid Margaret
G D7 G
Your lover's come and gone
C
The sport you would have made with him
G D7 G
I've played it for my own"
G C
Nimbly, nimbly, rose she up
G D7
Down to the river's brim
G C
But the louder that this lady cried
G D7 G
The louder blew the wind
[Break]
G C G D7 G C G D7 G
G C
The very first step that Margaret took
G D7 G
She stepped up to her feet
C
And "Oh, and alas", this lady sighs
G D7 G
"Your water's wondrous deep"
G C
And the very next step that she went in
G D7
She's waded to her knee
G C
Says she, "I would wade farther in
G D7 G
If I my true lover could see"
G C
And the very last step that she went in
G D7 G
She stepped up to her chin
C
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
G D7 G
She found sweet William in
G C
"You have had a cruel mother, Willie
G D7
I have had another
G C
And now we sleep in Clyde Water
G D7 G
Like sister and like brother"
G D7 C
