《Matty Groves(Live) (Live)》歌词

[00:00:03] A holiday

[00:00:04] A holiday

[00:00:07] And the first one of the year

[00:00:10] Lord darlen's wife came into the church

[00:00:11] The gospel for to hear

[00:00:16] And when the meeting it was done

[00:00:21] She cast her eyes about

[00:00:26] And there she saw little matty groves

[00:00:29] Walking in the crowd

[00:00:32] Come home with me

[00:00:37] Little matty groves

[00:00:39] Come home with me tonight

[00:00:43] Come home with me

[00:00:46] Little matty groves

[00:00:49] And sleep with me till light

[00:00:53] Oh

[00:00:53] I can't come home

[00:00:56] I won't come home and sleep with you tonight

[00:01:02] By the rings on your fingers I can tell you are my master's wife

[00:01:15] But if I am lord arlen 's wife

[00:01:27] Lord arlen's not at home

[00:01:30] He is out in the far cornfields bringing the yearlings home

[00:01:47] And a servant who was standing by and hearing what was said

[00:01:58] He swore lord arlen he would know before the sun would set

[00:02:21] And in his hurry to carry the news

[00:02:28] He bent his breast and ran

[00:02:31] And when he came to the broad millstream

[00:02:34] He took off his shoes and he swam

[00:02:44] Little matty groves

[00:02:46] He lay down and took a little sleep

[00:02:58] When he awoke

[00:03:00] Lord arlen was standing at his feet

[00:03:06] Saying how do you like my feather bed and how do you like my sheets

[00:03:16] How do you like my lady who lies in your arms asleep

[00:03:26] Oh

[00:03:27] Well I like your feather bed and well I like your sheets

[00:03:44] But better I like your lady gay who lies in my arms asleep

[00:03:56] Well

[00:04:00] Get up

[00:04:03] Get up lord arlen cried

[00:04:05] Get up as quick as you can

[00:04:13] It'll never be said in fair england that I slew a naked man

[00:04:22] Oh

[00:04:24] I can't get up

[00:04:41] I won't get up

[00:04:45] I can't get up for my life

[00:04:49] For you have two long beaten swords and I not a pocket knife

[00:04:55] Well it's true I have two beaten swords and they cost me deep in the purse

[00:05:07] But you will have the better of them and I will have the worse

[00:05:21] And you will strike the very first blow and strike it like a man

[00:05:28] I will strike the very next blow and I'll kill you if I can

[00:05:35] So matty struck the very first blow and he hurt lord arlen sore

[00:05:45] Lord arlen struck the very next blow and matty struck no more

[00:06:03] And then lord arlen took his wife and he sat her on his knee

[00:06:07] Saying who do you like the best of us

[00:06:14] Matty groves or me

[00:06:17] And then up spoke his own dear wife

[00:06:25] Never heard to speak so free

[00:06:32] I'd rather a kiss from dead matty's lips than you or your finery

[00:06:43] Lord arlen he jumped up and loudly he did bawl

[00:06:48] He struck his wife right through the heart and pinned her against the wall

[00:06:53] A grave

[00:06:54] A grave lord arlen cried

[00:06:57] To put these lovers in

[00:07:02] But bury my lady at the top for she was of noble kin
