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