Matt Hyland - Cherish The Ladies[00:00:03]
There was a lord lived in this town[00:00:17]
Who had a fair and lovely daughter[00:00:24]
She was courted by a handsome man[00:00:31]
Who was a servant to her father[00:00:38]
But when her parents came to know [00:00:45]
They swore they'd ban him from the island[00:00:51]
This maid she knew[00:00:58]
That her heart would break [00:01:01]
Had she to part with young Matt Hyland[00:01:05]
Straightway to her love[00:01:23]
She went and then[00:01:28]
Into his room to wake him[00:01:31]
Saying "Arise my love and go away [00:01:37]
This very night you will be taken[00:01:45]
I overheard my parents say [00:01:51]
In spite of me they would transport you[00:01:58]
Arise my love and go away [00:02:05]
I wish to God I'd gone before you"[00:02:11]
They both sat down[00:02:18]
All upon the bed all for the sight[00:02:22]
Of one another[00:02:27]
And not one word did either speak[00:02:32]
'Til down her cheeks the tears did shower[00:02:39]
She laid her head upon his breast [00:02:46]
Around his neck her arms entwined then[00:02:53]
"No duke nor earl nor lord I'll wed [00:02:59]
I'll wait for you my own Matt Hyland"[00:03:06]
"How can I go away my love [00:03:39]
How can I go without my wages [00:03:46]
Without one penny of my own [00:03:53]
Just like some low and lonesome vagrant "[00:04:00]
"Here's twenty guineas in bright gold [00:04:07]
That's far much more than Father owes you[00:04:13]
Take it love and go away [00:04:19]
You know right well I do adore you"[00:04:26]
The lord conversed with his daughter fair[00:04:36]
One night above in her bed chamber[00:04:43]
Saying [00:04:49]
"I'll give you leave for to bring him back [00:04:50]
Since there's no one can win your favor"[00:04:57]
She wrote a letter in great haste [00:05:03]
For him her heart was still repining[00:05:10]
They brought him back [00:05:17]
To the church they went [00:05:20]
And made a lord of young Matt Hyland[00:05:23]
