to see fine ladies there

And some were dressed in velvet red

and some in velvet pale
F A#
And then in came Lord Barnard's wife,
F A# F
The fairest among them all.
[Verse]
F A#
She cast an eye on Little Musgrave,

full bright as the summer sun;

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