Em
B holiday, B holiday
G
And the first one of the year
D
Lord Darnell's wife came into the church
Em D Em
The gospel for to hear
Em
And when the meeting it was done
G
She cast her eyes about
D
And there she saw little Matty Groves
Em D Em
Walking in the crowd
Em
"Come home with me, little Matty Groves
G
Come home with me tonight
D
Come home with me, little Matty Groves
Em D Em
And sleep with me 'til light"
Em
"Oh, I can't come home, I won't come home
G
And sleep with you tonight
D
By the rings on your fingers I can tell
Em D Em
You are Lord Darnell's wife"
Em
"But if I am Lord Darnell's wife
G
Lord Darnell's not at home
D
He is out in the far cornfields
Em D Em
Bringing the yearlings home"
Em
And a servant who was standing by
G
And hearing what was said
D
He swore Lord Darnell he would know
Em D Em
Before the sun would set
Em
And in his hurry to carry the news
G
He bent his breast and ran
D
And when he came to the broad mill stream
Em D Em
He took off his shoes and swam
Em
Little Matty Groves, he lay down
G
And took a little sleep
D
When he awoke Lord Darnell
Em D Em
Was standing at his feet
Em
Saying "How do you like my feather bed
G
And how do you like my sheets
D
How do you like my lady
Em D Em
Who lies in your arms asleep?"
Em
"Oh well, I like your feather bed
G
And well, I like your sheets
D
But better I like your lady gay
Em D Em
Who lies in my arms asleep"
Em
"Well, get up, get up", Lord Darnell cried
G
"Get up as quick as you can
D
It'll never be said in fair England
Em D Em
I slew a naked man"
Em
"Oh I can't get up, I won't get up
G
I can't get up for my life
D
For you have two long beaten swords
Em D Em
And I not a pocket knife"
Em
"Well it's true I have two beaten swords
G
They cost me deep in the purse
D
But you will have the better of them
Em D Em
And I will have the worse"
Em
"And you will strike the very first blow
G
And strike it like a man
D
I will strike the very next blow
Em D Em
And I'll kill you if I can"
Em
So Matty struck the very first blow
G
And he hurt Lord Darnell sore
D
Lord Darnell struck the very next blow
Em D Em
And Matty struck no more
Em
And then Lord Darnell he took his wife
G
And he sat her on his knee
D
Saying, "Who do like the best of us
Em D Em
Matty Groves or me?"
Em
And then up spoke his own dear wife
G
Never heard to speak so free
D
"I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips
Em D Em
Than you and your finery"
Em
Lord Darnell he jumped up
G
And loudly he did bawl
D
He stuck his wife right through the heart
Em D Em
And pinned her against the wall
Em
"B grave, a grave", Lord Darnell cried
G
"To put these lovers in
D
But bury my lady at the top
Em D Em
For she was of noble kin"
