《Matty Groves》歌词

[00:00:00] Matty Groves - Fairport Convention

[00:00:18] A holiday a holiday

[00:00:21] And the first one of the year

[00:00:23] Lord Donald's wife came into the church

[00:00:26] The Gospel for to hear

[00:00:29] And when the meeting it was done

[00:00:32] She cast her eyes about

[00:00:34] And there she saw little Matty Groves

[00:00:37] Walking in the crowd

[00:00:39] Come home with me little Matty Groves

[00:00:42] Come home with me tonight

[00:00:45] Come home with me little Matty Groves

[00:00:47] And sleep with me til light

[00:00:50] Oh I can't come home I won't come home

[00:00:53] And sleep with you tonight

[00:00:55] By the rings on your fingers

[00:00:57] I can tell you are Lord Donald's wife

[00:01:01] But if I am Lord Donald's wife

[00:01:03] Lord Donald's not at home

[00:01:06] He is out in the far cornfields

[00:01:09] Bringing the yearlings home

[00:01:22] And a servant who was standing by

[00:01:25] And hearing what was said

[00:01:27] He swore Lord Donald he would know

[00:01:30] Before the sun would set

[00:01:33] And in his hurry to carry the news

[00:01:35] He bent his breast and ran

[00:01:38] And when he came to the broad mill stream

[00:01:41] He took off his shoes and he swam

[00:01:54] Little Matty Groves he lay down

[00:01:57] And took a little sleep

[00:01:59] When he awoke Lord Donald

[00:02:02] Was standing at his feet

[00:02:05] Saying How do you like my feather bed

[00:02:07] And how do you like my sheets

[00:02:10] How do you like my lady

[00:02:12] Who lies in your arms asleep

[00:02:15] Oh well I like your feather bed

[00:02:18] And well I like your sheets

[00:02:20] But better I like your lady gay

[00:02:23] Who lies in my arms asleep

[00:02:25] Well get up get up Lord Donald cried

[00:02:28] Get up as quick as you can

[00:02:31] It'll never be said in fair England

[00:02:33] I slew a naked man

[00:02:36] Oh I can't get up I won't get up

[00:02:39] I can't get up for my life

[00:02:41] For you have two long beaten swords

[00:02:44] And I not a pocket knife

[00:02:46] Well it's true I have two beaten swords

[00:02:49] And they cost me deep in the purse

[00:02:52] But you will have the better of them

[00:02:55] And I will have the worse

[00:02:57] And you will strike the very first blow

[00:03:00] And strike it like a man

[00:03:02] I will strike the very next blow

[00:03:05] And I'll kill you if I can

[00:03:18] So Matty struck the very first blow

[00:03:21] And he hurt Lord Donald sore

[00:03:24] Lord Donald struck the very next blow

[00:03:26] And Matty struck no more

[00:03:29] And then Lord Donald he took his wife

[00:03:32] And he sat her on his knee

[00:03:34] Saying Who do you like the best of us

[00:03:37] Matty Groves or me

[00:03:39] And then up spoke his own dear wife

[00:03:42] Never heard to speak so free

[00:03:44] I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips

[00:03:47] Than you or your finery

[00:04:01] Lord Donald he jumped up

[00:04:03] And loudly he did bawl

[00:04:05] He struck his wife right through the heart

[00:04:08] And pinned her against the wall

[00:04:11] A grave a grave Lord Donald cried

[00:04:13] To put these lovers in

[00:04:16] But bury my lady at the top

[00:04:18] For she was of noble kin
