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