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