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