Clyde Waters (Child 216)
Anaïs Mitchell, Jefferson Hamer
E A
Willie stands in his stable door
E B7 E
And he's combing his coal black steed
A
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
E B7 E
And his heart began to bleed
E A
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
E B7
Help me tie them on
E A
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
E B7 E
Before the night comes on"
E A
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
E B7 E
Tonight there comes a storm
A
I'll lay the table handsomely
E B7 E
Your bed be soft and warm"
E A
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
E B7
They cannot bring me rest
E A
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
E B7 E
Before the night has passed"
E A
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
E B7 E
My curse will go with thee
A
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
E B7 E
Drowned you shall be"
E A
"The good steed that I ride upon
E B7
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
E A
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
E B7 E
To take me safe and sound"
E A
He's rode over the high, high hill
E B7 E
Down the dewy glen
A
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
E B7 E
Would have feared five hundred men
E A
"Roaring Clyde, you roar so loud
E B7
Your streams are wondrous strong
E A
Make me a wreck as I come back
E B7 E
Spare me as I'm going"
E A
And when he came to fair Margaret's gate
E B7 E
He's called to her within
A
"Rise up, rise up, maid Margaret
E B7 E
Rise up and let me in!"
E A
"Who's that stands at my garden gate
E B7
Calling maid Margaret's name?"
E A
"It's only your first love, sweet William
E B7 E
This night come to your home -
E A
Open your door, maid Margaret
E B7 E
Open and let me in
A
My boots are full of the Clyde Water
E B7 E
And I'm shivering to the skin"
E A
"My stable is full of horses, Willie
E B7
My barns are full of hay
E A
And my bowers are full of gentlemen
E B7 E
They'll not remove 'til day"
E A
"Fare thee well, maid Margaret
E B7 E
Fair thee well, adieu
E A
C# curse my mother laid on me
E B7 E
For coming this night to you"
E A
He's rode over the high, high hill
E B7
Down the dewy glen
E A
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
E B7 E
Took Willie's hat from him
E A
Then he's leaned him over the saddlebow
E B7 E
To fetch his hat again
A
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
E B7 E
Took Willie's coat from him
E A
And he's leaned him over his saddlebow
E B7
To catch his coat by force
E A
And the rushing in the Clyde Water
E B7 E
Took Willie from his horse
E A
The very hour this young man sank
E B7
Down in the water deep
E A
Then up and rose maid Margaret
E B7 E
Out of her drowsy sleep
E A
"Come here, come here, my mother dear
E B7
I've dreamed a dreary dream
E A
I dreamed my lover was at our gate
E B7 E
And nobody let him in"
E A
"Lie down, lie down, maid Margaret
E B7 E
Your lover's come and gone
A
The sport you would have made with him
E B7 E
I've played it for my own"
E A
Nimbly, nimbly, rose she up
E B7
Down to the river's brim
E A
But the louder that this lady cried
E B7 E
The louder blew the wind
[Break]
E A E B7 E A E B7 E
E A
The very first step that Margaret took
E B7 E
She stepped up to her feet
A
And "Oh, and alas", this lady sighs
E B7 E
"Your water's wondrous deep"
E A
And the very next step that she went in
E B7
She's waded to her knee
E A
Says she, "I would wade farther in
E B7 E
If I my true lover could see"
E A
And the very last step that she went in
E B7 E
She stepped up to her chin
A
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
E B7 E
She found sweet William in
E A
"You have had a cruel mother, Willie
E B7
I have had another
E A
And now we sleep in Clyde Water
E B7 E
Like sister and like brother"
