Clyde Waters (Child 216)
Anaïs Mitchell, Jefferson Hamer
F A#
Willie stands in his stable door
F C7 F
And he's combing his coal black steed
A#
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
F C7 F
And his heart began to bleed
F A#
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
F C7
Help me tie them on
F A#
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
F C7 F
Before the night comes on"
F A#
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
F C7 F
Tonight there comes a storm
A#
I'll lay the table handsomely
F C7 F
Your bed be soft and warm"
F A#
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
F C7
They cannot bring me rest
F A#
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
F C7 F
Before the night has passed"
F A#
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
F C7 F
My curse will go with thee
A#
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
F C7 F
Drowned you shall be"
F A#
"The good steed that I ride upon
F C7
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
F A#
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
F C7 F
To take me safe and sound"
F A#
He's rode over the high, high hill
F C7 F
Down the dewy glen
A#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
F C7 F
Would have feared five hundred men
F A#
"Roaring Clyde, you roar so loud
F C7
Your streams are wondrous strong
F A#
Make me a wreck as I come back
F C7 F
Spare me as I'm going"
F A#
And when he came to fair Margaret's gate
F C7 F
He's called to her within
A#
"Rise up, rise up, maid Margaret
F C7 F
Rise up and let me in!"
F A#
"Who's that stands at my garden gate
F C7
Calling maid Margaret's name?"
F A#
"It's only your first love, sweet William
F C7 F
This night come to your home -
F A#
Open your door, maid Margaret
F C7 F
Open and let me in
A#
My boots are full of the Clyde Water
F C7 F
And I'm shivering to the skin"
F A#
"My stable is full of horses, Willie
F C7
My barns are full of hay
F A#
And my bowers are full of gentlemen
F C7 F
They'll not remove 'til day"
F A#
"Fare thee well, maid Margaret
F C7 F
Fair thee well, adieu
F A#
D curse my mother laid on me
F C7 F
For coming this night to you"
F A#
He's rode over the high, high hill
F C7
Down the dewy glen
F A#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
F C7 F
Took Willie's hat from him
F A#
Then he's leaned him over the saddlebow
F C7 F
To fetch his hat again
A#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
F C7 F
Took Willie's coat from him
F A#
And he's leaned him over his saddlebow
F C7
To catch his coat by force
F A#
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
F C7 F
Took Willie from his horse
F A#
The very hour this young man sank
F C7
Down in the water deep
F A#
Then up and rose maid Margaret
F C7 F
Out of her drowsy sleep
F A#
"Come here, come here, my mother dear
F C7
I've dreamed a dreary dream
F A#
I dreamed my lover was at our gate
F C7 F
And nobody let him in"
F A#
"Lie down, lie down, maid Margaret
F C7 F
Your lover's come and gone
A#
The sport you would have made with him
F C7 F
I've played it for my own"
F A#
Nimbly, nimbly, rose she up
F C7
Down to the river's brim
F A#
But the louder that this lady cried
F C7 F
The louder blew the wind
[Break]
F A# F C7 F A# F C7 F
F A#
The very first step that Margaret took
F C7 F
She stepped up to her feet
A#
And "Oh, and alas", this lady sighs
F C7 F
"Your water's wondrous deep"
F A#
And the very next step that she went in
F C7
She's waded to her knee
F A#
Says she, "I would wade farther in
F C7 F
If I my true lover could see"
F A#
And the very last step that she went in
F C7 F
She stepped up to her chin
A#
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
F C7 F
She found sweet William in
F A#
"You have had a cruel mother, Willie
F C7
I have had another
F A#
And now we sleep in Clyde Water
F C7 F
Like sister and like brother"
