Verse

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