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