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