Matty Groves - Fairport Convention[00:00:00]

A holiday a holiday[00:00:18]

And the first one of the year[00:00:21]

Lord Donald's wife came into the church[00:00:23]

The Gospel for to hear[00:00:26]

And when the meeting it was done[00:00:29]

She cast her eyes about[00:00:32]

And there she saw little Matty Groves[00:00:34]

Walking in the crowd[00:00:37]

Come home with me little Matty Groves[00:00:39]

Come home with me tonight[00:00:42]

Come home with me little Matty Groves[00:00:45]

And sleep with me til light[00:00:47]

Oh I can't come home I won't come home[00:00:50]

And sleep with you tonight[00:00:53]

By the rings on your fingers[00:00:55]

I can tell you are Lord Donald's wife[00:00:57]

But if I am Lord Donald's wife[00:01:01]

Lord Donald's not at home[00:01:03]

He is out in the far cornfields[00:01:06]

Bringing the yearlings home[00:01:09]

And a servant who was standing by[00:01:22]

And hearing what was said[00:01:25]

He swore Lord Donald he would know[00:01:27]

Before the sun would set[00:01:30]

And in his hurry to carry the news[00:01:33]

He bent his breast and ran[00:01:35]

And when he came to the broad mill stream[00:01:38]

He took off his shoes and he swam[00:01:41]

Little Matty Groves he lay down[00:01:54]

And took a little sleep[00:01:57]

When he awoke Lord Donald[00:01:59]

Was standing at his feet[00:02:02]

Saying How do you like my feather bed[00:02:05]

And how do you like my sheets[00:02:07]

How do you like my lady[00:02:10]

Who lies in your arms asleep[00:02:12]

Oh well I like your feather bed[00:02:15]

And well I like your sheets[00:02:18]

But better I like your lady gay[00:02:20]

Who lies in my arms asleep[00:02:23]

Well get up get up Lord Donald cried[00:02:25]

Get up as quick as you can[00:02:28]

It'll never be said in fair England[00:02:31]

I slew a naked man[00:02:33]

Oh I can't get up I won't get up[00:02:36]

I can't get up for my life[00:02:39]

For you have two long beaten swords[00:02:41]

And I not a pocket knife[00:02:44]

Well it's true I have two beaten swords[00:02:46]

And they cost me deep in the purse[00:02:49]

But you will have the better of them[00:02:52]

And I will have the worse[00:02:55]

And you will strike the very first blow[00:02:57]

And strike it like a man[00:03:00]

I will strike the very next blow[00:03:02]

And I'll kill you if I can[00:03:05]

So Matty struck the very first blow[00:03:18]

And he hurt Lord Donald sore[00:03:21]

Lord Donald struck the very next blow[00:03:24]

And Matty struck no more[00:03:26]

And then Lord Donald he took his wife[00:03:29]

And he sat her on his knee[00:03:32]

Saying Who do you like the best of us[00:03:34]

Matty Groves or me[00:03:37]

And then up spoke his own dear wife[00:03:39]

Never heard to speak so free[00:03:42]

I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips[00:03:44]

Than you or your finery[00:03:47]

Lord Donald he jumped up[00:04:01]

And loudly he did bawl[00:04:03]

He struck his wife right through the heart[00:04:05]

And pinned her against the wall[00:04:08]

A grave a grave Lord Donald cried[00:04:11]

To put these lovers in[00:04:13]

But bury my lady at the top[00:04:16]

For she was of noble kin[00:04:18]
