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