Matty Groves - Fiddler's Green[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:01]

A holiday a holiday[00:00:13]

The first one of the year[00:00:15]

Lord Arnold's wife came into the Church[00:00:17]

The gospel for to hear[00:00:18]

And when the meeting it was done[00:00:20]

She cast her eyes about[00:00:22]

And there she saw little matty groves[00:00:23]

Walking in the crowd[00:00:25]

Come home with me[00:00:27]

Little matty groves[00:00:28]

Come home with me tonight[00:00:28]

Come home with me little matty groves[00:00:30]

And sleep with me till light[00:00:32]

Oh I can't come home and I won't go home[00:00:33]

And sleep with you tonight[00:00:35]

By the rings on your fingers I can see[00:00:37]

That you are my master's wife[00:00:38]

And what if I'm lord Arnold's wife[00:00:43]

For he is not at home[00:00:45]

He is out in the far country[00:00:47]

Bringing the yearlings home[00:00:49]

So little matty groves he lay down[00:00:50]

And took a little sleep[00:00:52]

When he awoke lord Arnold[00:00:54]

He was standing by his feet[00:00:55]

Saying how do you like my feather bed[00:00:57]

And how do you like my sheets[00:00:59]

How do you like my lady wife[00:01:00]

Who lies in your arms asleep[00:01:02]

Oh well I like your feather bed[00:01:04]

Better I like your sheets[00:01:05]

Best of all I like your lady gay[00:01:07]

Who lies in my arms asleep[00:01:09]

Get up get up lord Arnold cried[00:01:27]

Get up as quick as you can[00:01:29]

Let it never be said in fair England[00:01:30]

That I slew a naked man[00:01:32]

Oh I won't get up and I won't get up[00:01:34]

I can't get up for my life[00:01:35]

For you have two long beaten swords[00:01:37]

And I not a pocket knife[00:01:39]

Well it's true I have two beaten swords[00:01:40]

And they cost me deep in the purse[00:01:42]

But you will have the better of them[00:01:44]

And I will have the worse[00:01:46]

So matty struck the very first blow[00:01:47]

And he hurt lord Arnold sore[00:01:49]

Lord Arnold struck the very next blow[00:01:51]

And matty struck up the floor[00:01:52]

And then he took his own dear wife[00:01:57]

And sat her down on his knee[00:01:59]

Saying who do you like the best of us now[00:02:01]

Your dead matty groves or me[00:02:02]

And then spoke up his own dear wife[00:02:04]

Never heard her speak so free[00:02:06]

I'd rather a kiss from dead matty's lips[00:02:07]

Than you or your finery[00:02:09]

And then lord Arnold he jumped up[00:02:11]

And loudly he did bawl[00:02:12]

He struck his wife right through the heart[00:02:14]

And pinned her up to the wall[00:02:16]

Oh a grave a grave lord Arnold cried[00:02:17]

To put these lovers in[00:02:19]

Won't you bury my lady at the top[00:02:21]

For she was a noble kin[00:02:22]
