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