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