[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:13] A holiday a holiday

[00:00:15] The first one of the year

[00:00:17] Lord Arnold's wife came into the Church

[00:00:18] The gospel for to hear

[00:00:20] And when the meeting it was done

[00:00:22] She cast her eyes about

[00:00:23] And there she saw little matty groves

[00:00:25] Walking in the crowd

[00:00:27] Come home with me

[00:00:28] Little matty groves

[00:00:28] Come home with me tonight

[00:00:30] Come home with me little matty groves

[00:00:32] And sleep with me till light

[00:00:33] Oh I can't come home and I won't go home

[00:00:35] And sleep with you tonight

[00:00:37] By the rings on your fingers I can see

[00:00:38] That you are my master's wife

[00:00:43] And what if I'm lord Arnold's wife

[00:00:45] For he is not at home

[00:00:47] He is out in the far country

[00:00:49] Bringing the yearlings home

[00:00:50] So little matty groves he lay down

[00:00:52] And took a little sleep

[00:00:54] When he awoke lord Arnold

[00:00:55] He was standing by his feet

[00:00:57] Saying how do you like my feather bed

[00:00:59] And how do you like my sheets

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

[00:01:02] Who lies in your arms asleep

[00:01:04] Oh well I like your feather bed

[00:01:05] Better I like your sheets

[00:01:07] Best of all I like your lady gay

[00:01:09] Who lies in my arms asleep

[00:01:27] Get up get up lord Arnold cried

[00:01:29] Get up as quick as you can

[00:01:30] Let it never be said in fair England

[00:01:32] That I slew a naked man

[00:01:34] Oh I won't get up and I won't get up

[00:01:35] I can't get up for my life

[00:01:37] For you have two long beaten swords

[00:01:39] And I not a pocket knife

[00:01:40] Well it's true I have two beaten swords

[00:01:42] And they cost me deep in the purse

[00:01:44] But you will have the better of them

[00:01:46] And I will have the worse

[00:01:47] So matty struck the very first blow

[00:01:49] And he hurt lord Arnold sore

[00:01:51] Lord Arnold struck the very next blow

[00:01:52] And matty struck up the floor

[00:01:57] And then he took his own dear wife

[00:01:59] And sat her down on his knee

[00:02:01] Saying who do you like the best of us now

[00:02:02] Your dead matty groves or me

[00:02:04] And then spoke up his own dear wife

[00:02:06] Never heard her speak so free

[00:02:07] I'd rather a kiss from dead matty's lips

[00:02:09] Than you or your finery

[00:02:11] And then lord Arnold he jumped up

[00:02:12] And loudly he did bawl

[00:02:14] He struck his wife right through the heart

[00:02:16] And pinned her up to the wall

[00:02:17] Oh a grave a grave lord Arnold cried

[00:02:19] To put these lovers in

[00:02:21] Won't you bury my lady at the top

[00:02:22] For she was a noble kin
