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
'E 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
