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