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