Matty Groves (马蒂·格罗夫斯) (Live) - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)[00:00:01]

Written by：Ashley Hutchings/Emily Slade/Roger Wilson/Simon Care[00:00:02]

A holiday a holiday[00:00:37]

And the first one of the year[00:00:39]

Lord Donald's wife came into the church[00:00:41]

The Gospel for to hear[00:00:44]

And when the meeting it was done[00:00:46]

She cast her eyes about[00:00:48]

And there she saw little Matty Groves[00:00:50]

Walking in the crowd[00:00:52]

Come home with me little Matty Groves[00:00:55]

Come home with me tonight[00:00:57]

Come home with me little Matty Groves[00:00:59]

And sleep with me 'til light[00:01:01]

Oh I can't come home I won't come home[00:01:03]

And sleep with you tonight[00:01:06]

By the rings on your fingers I can tell[00:01:08]

You are Lord Donald's wife[00:01:10]

And what if I am Lord Donald's wife[00:01:12]

Lord Donald's not at home[00:01:14]

He is out in the far cornfields[00:01:17]

Bringing the yearlings home[00:01:19]

Little Matty Groves he lay down[00:01:31]

And took a little sleep[00:01:32]

When he awoke Lord Donald[00:01:34]

Was standing at his feet[00:01:36]

Saying how do you like my feather bed[00:01:38]

And how do you like my sheets[00:01:41]

How do you like my lady[00:01:43]

Who lies in your arms asleep[00:01:45]

Oh well I like your feather bed[00:01:47]

And well I like your sheets[00:01:49]

But better I like your lady wife[00:01:51]

Who lies in my arms asleep[00:01:54]

Well get up get up Lord Donald cried[00:01:56]

Get up as quick as you can[00:01:58]

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

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

Oh I can't get up I won't get up[00:02:05]

I can't get up for my life[00:02:07]

For you have two long beaten swords[00:02:09]

And I not a pocket knife[00:02:11]

Well it's true I have two beaten swords[00:02:13]

And they cost me deep in the purse[00:02:16]

But you will have the better of them[00:02:18]

And I will have the worse[00:02:20]

And you will strike the very first blow[00:02:22]

And strike it like a man[00:02:25]

I will strike the very next blow[00:02:27]

And I'll kill you if I can[00:02:29]

So Matty struck the very first blow[00:02:41]

And he hurt Lord Donald sore[00:02:42]

Lord Donald struck the very next blow[00:02:45]

And Matty struck no more[00:02:47]

And then Lord Donald he took his wife[00:02:49]

And he sat her upon his knee[00:02:51]

Saying who do you like the best of us[00:02:53]

Matty Groves or me[00:02:56]

And then up spoke his own dear wife[00:02:58]

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

I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips[00:03:02]

Than you or your finery[00:03:04]

Lord Donald he jumped up[00:03:06]

And loudly he did bawl[00:03:08]

He struck his wife right through the heart[00:03:10]

And pinned her against the wall[00:03:13]

A grave a grave Lord Donald cried[00:03:15]

To put these lovers in[00:03:17]

But bury my lady at the top[00:03:19]

For she was of noble kin[00:03:21]
