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