Matty Groves (马蒂·格罗夫斯) - Doc Watson[00:00:00]

Was on the high high holy day[00:00:10]

The very best day in the year[00:00:13]

Little matty groves had gone to church[00:00:18]

Holy words for to hear[00:00:21]

Holy words for to hear[00:00:23]

The first to come down was dressed in red[00:00:27]

And the second one dressed in green[00:00:31]

The third to come down was lord daniel's wife[00:00:35]

As fair as any queen[00:00:38]

Just as fair as any queen[00:00:40]

Then matty groves says to one of his men[00:00:47]

See the fair one dressed in white[00:00:50]

Although she is lord daniel's wife[00:00:54]

I'll be with her tonight[00:00:57]

I'll be with her tonight[00:00:59]

Well the little foot page was standing by[00:01:05]

And heard every word that was said[00:01:08]

He says lord daniel shall know tonight[00:01:13]

Before I go to bed[00:01:16]

Before I go to bed[00:01:18]

He had 15 miles for to go that night[00:01:29]

And 10 of them he run[00:01:33]

He run till he come to the broke down bridge[00:01:37]

Then he bent to his breast and swum[00:01:40]

He bent to his breast and swum[00:01:42]

He swum till he come to where the grass was green[00:01:47]

He took to his feet and he run[00:01:50]

He run till he come to lord daniel's gate[00:01:54]

Then he rattled at the bells and they rung[00:01:58]

He rattled at the bells and they rung[00:01:59]

What news what news lord daniel says[00:02:10]

What news to me have you brung[00:02:13]

Little matty groves is in the bed with your wife[00:02:18]

And their hearts both beat as one[00:02:21]

And their hearts both beat as one[00:02:22]

Now if the truth you've told to me[00:02:27]

A rich man you shall be[00:02:30]

But if a lie you've told to me[00:02:34]

I'll hang you to a tree[00:02:37]

I'll hang you to a tree[00:02:39]

He gathered him up about 50 good men[00:02:43]

He done it with a free good will[00:02:46]

Then he popped his bugle unto his lips[00:02:50]

And he blowed it loud and shrill[00:02:53]

He blowed it loud and shrill[00:02:55]

I'd better get up said little matty groves[00:03:01]

I'd better get up and go[00:03:04]

I know your husband is a coming home[00:03:08]

For I heard his bugle blow[00:03:11]

I heard his bugle blow[00:03:13]

Lay down lay down my precious one[00:03:17]

Lay down and go to sleep[00:03:20]

It's only my father's shepherd's horn[00:03:24]

And he's a calling for his sheep[00:03:27]

He's a calling for his sheep[00:03:29]

So they laid down together again[00:03:41]

And they soon were fast asleep[00:03:44]

And when they awoke it was broad daylight[00:03:48]

Lord daniel at their feet[00:03:51]

Lord daniel at their feet[00:03:53]

Get up from there your naked man[00:03:57]

And put you on some clothes[00:04:00]

I never intend for to have it said[00:04:04]

That a naked man I slow[00:04:07]

That a naked man I slow[00:04:09]

Oh give me a chance said little matty groves[00:04:22]

A chance to fight for my life[00:04:25]

For there you have two very fine swords[00:04:29]

And me not as much as a knife[00:04:32]

And me not as much as a knife[00:04:34]

Oh yes I have two very fine swords[00:04:38]

And they cost me deep in the purse[00:04:41]

You may have the finest one[00:04:45]

And I will take the worst[00:04:48]

Yes I will take the worst[00:04:50]

Then matty groves struck the very first lick[00:04:54]

And he wounded lord daniel sore[00:04:57]

Lord daniel struck the very next lick[00:05:01]

And he drove matty groves to the floor[00:05:04]

He drove matty groves to the floor[00:05:06]

Then he taken his lady by the hand[00:05:10]

And he sat her on his knee[00:05:13]

And he says now which do you love the best[00:05:17]

Little matty groves or me[00:05:20]

Little matty groves or me[00:05:22]

Very well I like your rosy cheeks[00:05:26]

Very well I like your chin[00:05:29]

But better I love little matty groves[00:05:33]

Than you and all of your kin[00:05:36]

Than you and all of your kin[00:05:38]

You can dig my grave on a pretty green hill[00:05:42]

Dig it wide and deep[00:05:45]

And put little matty groves in my arms[00:05:49]

Lord daniel at my feet[00:05:52]

Lord daniel at my feet[00:05:54]
