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