Matty Groves(Take 1) (马蒂·格罗夫斯（选取场景1) - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:02]

A holiday a holiday[00:00:19]

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[00:00:28]

She cast her eyes about[00:00:31]

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[00:00:44]

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

Oh I can't come home I won't come home[00:00:49]

And sleep with you tonight[00:00:52]

By the rings on your fingers I can tell[00:00:55]

You are lord Donald's wife[00:00:57]

What if I am lord Donald's wife[00:01:00]

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

For he is out in the far cornfields[00:01:05]

Bringing the yearlings home[00:01:08]

And a servant who was standing by[00:01:21]

And hearing what was said[00:01:23]

He swore lord Donald he would know[00:01:26]

Before the sun would set[00:01:29]

And in his hurry to carry the news[00:01:31]

He bent his breast and ran[00:01:34]

And when he came to the broad millstream[00:01:36]

He took off his shoes and swam[00:01:39]

Little Matty Groves he lay down[00:01:52]

And took a little sleep[00:01:55]

When he awoke lord Donald[00:01:57]

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

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

And how do you like my sheets[00:02:05]

How do you like my lady[00:02:08]

Who lies in your arms asleep[00:02:10]

Well I like your feather bed[00:02:13]

And well I like your sheets[00:02:16]

But better I like your lady gay[00:02:18]

Who lies in my arms asleep[00:02:21]

Well get up get up lord Donald cried[00:02:23]

Get up as quick as you can[00:02:26]

It'll never be said in fair England[00:02:28]

I slew a naked man[00:02:31]

Oh I can't get up I won't get up[00:02:33]

I can't get up for my life[00:02:36]

For you have two long beaten swords[00:02:39]

And I not a pocket knife[00:02:42]

Well it's true I have two beaten swords[00:02:44]

And they cost me deep in the purse[00:02:47]

But you will have the better of them[00:02:49]

And I will have the worse[00:02:52]

And you will strike the very first blow[00:02:54]

And strike it like a man[00:02:57]

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

And I'll kill you if I can[00:03:02]

So Matty struck the very first blow[00:03:15]

And he hurt lord Donald sore[00:03:18]

Lord Donald struck the very next blow[00:03:20]

And Matty struck no more[00:03:23]

And then lord Donald he took his wife[00:03:25]

And he sat her on his knee[00:03:28]

Saying who do you like the best of us[00:03:30]

Matty Groves or me[00:03:34]

And then up spoke his own dear wife[00:03:36]

Never heard to speak so free[00:03:38]

I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips[00:03:41]

Than you or your finery[00:03:44]

And then lord Donald he jumped up[00:03:57]

And loudly he did bawl[00:03:59]

He struck his wife right through the heart[00:04:02]

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

A grave a grave lord Donald cried[00:04:07]

To put these lovers in[00:04:10]

But bury my lady at the top[00:04:12]

For she was of noble kin[00:04:14]
