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

[00:00:37] A holiday a holiday

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:52] Walking in the crowd

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:19] Bringing the yearlings home

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:56] Matty Groves or me

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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