F# holiday, F# holiday
D
And the first one of the year
A
Lord Darnell's wife came into the church
Bm A Bm
The gospel for to hear
Bm
And when the meeting it was done
D
She cast her eyes about
A
And there she saw little Matty Groves
Bm A Bm
Walking in the crowd
Bm
"Come home with me, little Matty Groves
D
Come home with me tonight
A
Come home with me, little Matty Groves
Bm A Bm
And sleep with me 'til light"
Bm
"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
Bm A Bm
You are Lord Darnell's wife"
Bm
"But if I am Lord Darnell's wife
D
Lord Darnell's not at home
A
He is out in the far cornfields
Bm A Bm
Bringing the yearlings home"
Bm
And a servant who was standing by
D
And hearing what was said
A
He swore Lord Darnell he would know
Bm A Bm
Before the sun would set
Bm
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
Bm A Bm
He took off his shoes and swam
Bm
Little Matty Groves, he lay down
D
And took a little sleep
A
When he awoke Lord Darnell
Bm A Bm
Was standing at his feet
Bm
Saying "How do you like my feather bed
D
And how do you like my sheets
A
How do you like my lady
Bm A Bm
Who lies in your arms asleep?"
Bm
"Oh well, I like your feather bed
D
And well, I like your sheets
A
But better I like your lady gay
Bm A Bm
Who lies in my arms asleep"
Bm
"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
Bm A Bm
I slew a naked man"
Bm
"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
Bm A Bm
And I not a pocket knife"
Bm
"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
Bm A Bm
And I will have the worse"
Bm
"And you will strike the very first blow
D
And strike it like a man
A
I will strike the very next blow
Bm A Bm
And I'll kill you if I can"
Bm
So Matty struck the very first blow
D
And he hurt Lord Darnell sore
A
Lord Darnell struck the very next blow
Bm A Bm
And Matty struck no more
Bm
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
Bm A Bm
Matty Groves or me?"
Bm
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
Bm A Bm
Than you and your finery"
Bm
Lord Darnell he jumped up
D
And loudly he did bawl
A
He stuck his wife right through the heart
Bm A Bm
And pinned her against the wall
Bm
"F# grave, a grave", Lord Darnell cried
D
"To put these lovers in
A
But bury my lady at the top
Bm A Bm
For she was of noble kin"
