Verse
A D
It fell upon a holy-day
A
As many in the year,
A D
Musgrave to the church did go
A D A
to see fine ladies there
[Verse]
A D
And some were dressed in velvet red
A
and some in velvet pale
A D
And then in came Lord Barnard's wife,
A D A
The fairest among them all.
[Verse]
A D
She cast an eye on Little Musgrave,
A
full bright as the summer sun;
D
Said Musgrave unto himself
A D A
"This lady's heart have I won."
[Verse]
A D A
I have loved you fair lady
A
for long and many's the day
A D A
and I have loved you little Musgrave
A D A
though never a word did say
[Verse]
A D
'I have a bower at Bucklesfordberry,
A
It's me hearts delight
A D
I'll take you back there with me
A D A
If you'll lie in my arms all night.'
[Verse]
A D
But standing by was a little footpage,
A
From the lady's coach he ran.
A D
'Although I am my lady's page,
A D A
I am Lord Barnard's man.
[Verse]
A D
'Lord Barnard shall know of this,
A
Whether I sink or swim;'
A c
And everywhere the bridges were broke,
A D A
He'd enter the water and swim.
[Verse]
A D A
" Lord Barnard, my Lord Barnard,
A
you are a man of life,
A D A
but Musgrave he's at Bucklesfordberry,
A D A
Asleep with your wedded wife.'
[Verse]
A D
'If this be true, me little footpage,
A
This thing that you tell me,
A D
All the gold in Bucklesford Berry
A D A
Gladly I'll give to thee.
[Verse]
A D
'But if this be a lie, thou little foot page,
A
This thing that you tell me,
A D
From the highest tree in Bucklesfordberry,
A D A
Hanged you shall be.'
[Verse]
A D A
"Go saddle me the black he said
A
go saddle me the grey
A D A
and sound you not your horns," he said
A D A
"lest our coming you betray"
[Verse]
A D
But there was a man in Lord Barnard's train
A
Who loved the little Musgrave
A D
and he blew his horn both loud and shrill
A D A
'Away, Musgrave, away.'
[Verse]
A D
'I think I hear the morning cock,
A
I think I hear the jay;
A D
I think I hear Lord Barnard's men,
A D A
And I wish I was away.'
[Verse]
A D
'Lie still, lie still, thou Little Musgrave,
A
And hug me from the cold;
A D
'It's only a shepherd's boy,
A D A
A-bringing his flock to fold.
[Verse]
A D
'Is not your hawk upon it's perch?
A
Your steed eats oats and hay;
A D
And You've a lady in your arms,
A D A
And yet you'd go away?'
[Verse]
A D
So he's turned around and he's kissed her twice
A
and then they fell asleep
A D
when they awoke Lord Barnard's Men
A D A
were standing at their feet.
[Verse]
A D A
"How do you like me bed?" he said, and
A
"How do you like me sheets?"
A D A
"And how do you like me fair lady ,
A D A
that lies in you arms asleep?"
[Verse]
A D
"It's well I like your bed," he said
A
" and great it gives me pain,
A D
I would gladly give a hundred pounds
A D A
to be on yonder plain.'
[Verse]
A D
So slowly, so slowly he got up
A
So slowly he put on
A D
Slowly down the stairs
A D A
Thinking to be slain.
[Verse]
A D A
Rise up rise up,little Musgrave,
A
rise up and then put on;
A D A
It shall not be said in fair Ireland
A D A
that I slayed a naked man.
[Verse]
A D
'There are two swords down at my side,
A
and dear they cost my purse;
A D
And you shall have the best of them,
A D A
And I will take the worse.'
[Verse]
A D
The first rook that Musgrave struck
A
It hurt Lord Barnard sore;
A D
But the next rook that Lord Barnard struck,
A D A
Little Musgrave ne'er struck more.
[Verse]
A D
Then up and spake the fair lady,
A
from on her bed she lay.'
A D
'Although you're dead, Little Musgrave,
A D A
Still for you I"ll pray.
[Verse]
A D A
"How do you like his cheek?" he said, and
A
"how do you like his chin?
A D A
and how do you like his dead body,
A D A
now there's no life within."
[Verse]
A D
"It's well I like his cheek" she said,
A
"and more I want his chin,
A D
It's more I love his dead body, than
A D A
all your kith and kin."
[Verse]
A D
He's taken out his long,long sword,
A
to strike the mortal blow,
A D
and through, and through the lady's heart
A D A
the cold steel it did go
[Verse]
A D
'B grave, a grave,' Lord Barnard cried,
A
'To put these lovers in;
A D
But put my lady on the upper half,
A D A
For she came from better kin.'
[Verse]
A D
'For I've just killed the finest knight
A
That ever rode a steed;
A D
And I've just slain the fairest lady
A D A
That ever did a woman's deed."
[Verse]
A D
It fell upon a holy-day
A
As many's in the year,
A D
Musgrave to the church did go
A D A
to see fine ladies there
