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