And then in came Lord Barnard's wife,

C F C
"This lady's heart have I won."
[Verse]
C F C
I have loved you fair lady

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
