《The Ballad of Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard》歌词

[00:09:31] As it fell on one holyday

[00:09:31] As many be in the year

[00:09:31] When young men and maids together did go

[00:09:31] Their matins and mass to hear

[00:09:31] Their matins and mass to hear

[00:09:31] Little Musgrave came to the church door –

[00:09:31] The priest was at private mass –

[00:09:31] But he had more mind of the fair women

[00:09:31] Than he had of Our Lady's grace

[00:09:31] Than he had of Our Lady's grace

[00:09:31] The one of them was clad in green

[00:09:31] Another was clad in pall

[00:09:31] And then came in my Lord Barnard's wife

[00:09:31] The fairest amongst them all

[00:09:31] The fairest amongst them all

[00:09:31] Quoth she "I've loved thee Little Musgrave

[00:09:31] Full long and many a day"

[00:09:31] "So have I lov'd you my fair ladye

[00:09:31] Yet never a word durst I say"

[00:09:31] "But I have a bower at Bucklesfordberry

[00:09:31] Full daintily it is dight

[00:09:31] If thou'lt wend thither thou Little Musgrave

[00:09:31] Thou's lig in my arms all night"

[00:09:31] "Yet never a word

[00:09:31] Never a word

[00:09:31] Never a word""

[00:09:31] With that beheard a little tiny page

[00:09:31] By his lady's coach as he ran

[00:09:31] Says "Although I am my lady's foot-page

[00:09:31] Yet I am Lord Barnard's man"

[00:09:31] Then he's cast off his hose and cast off his shoon

[00:09:31] Set down his feet and ran

[00:09:31] And where the bridges were broken down

[00:09:31] He bent he bow and swam

[00:09:31] "Awake awake thou Lord Barnard

[00:09:31] As thou art a man of life

[00:09:31] Little Musgrave is at Bucklesfordberry

[00:09:31] Along with thine own wedded wife"

[00:09:31] He called up his merry men all

[00:09:31] "Come saddle me my steed

[00:09:31] This night must I to Bucklesfordberry

[00:09:31] F'r I never had greater need

[00:09:31] I never had greater need"

[00:09:31] But some they whistled and some they sang

[00:09:31] And some they thus could say

[00:09:31] Whenever Lord Barnard's horn it blew

[00:09:31] It blew

[00:09:31] "Away Musgrave away"

[00:09:31] "Methinks I hear the threstlecock

[00:09:31] Methinks I hear the jay

[00:09:31] Methinks I hear Lord Barnard's horn

[00:09:31] Away Musgrave Away"

[00:09:31] "Lie still lie still thou little Musgrave

[00:09:31] And huggle me from the cold

[00:09:31] 'Tis nothing but a shepherd's boy

[00:09:31] A-driving his sheep to the fold

[00:09:31] "By this Lord Barnard came to his door

[00:09:31] And lighted a stone upon

[00:09:31] And he's pull'd out three silver keys

[00:09:31] And open'd the doors each one

[00:09:31] He lifted up the coverlet

[00:09:31] He lifted up the sheet

[00:09:31] "Arise arise thou Little Musgrave

[00:09:31] And put thy clothes on

[00:09:31] It shall ne'er be said in my country

[00:09:31] I've killed a naked man

[00:09:31] I have two swords in one scabbard

[00:09:31] They are both sharp and clear

[00:09:31] Take you the best and I the worst

[00:09:31] We'll end the matter here

[00:09:31] We'll end the matter here"

[00:09:31] "The first stroke Little Musgrave struck

[00:09:31] He hurt Lord Barnard sore

[00:09:31] The next stroke that Lord Barnard struck

[00:09:31] He struck

[00:09:31] Little Musgrave ne'er struck more

[00:09:31] Little Musgrave ne'er struck more

[00:09:31] Little Musgrave ne'er more

[00:09:31] "Woe worth you my merry men all

[00:09:31] You were ne'er born for my good

[00:09:31] Why did you not offer to stay my hand

[00:09:31] When you saw me wax so wood

[00:09:31] For I've slain also the fairest ladye

[00:09:31] Soe I have slain the fairest ladye

[00:09:31] That ever did woman's deed

[00:09:31] That ever did deed

[00:09:31] A grave " Lord Barnard cried "To put these lovers in

[00:09:31] But lay my lady on the upper hand

[00:09:31] For she comes of the nobler kin

[00:09:31] For she comes of the nobler kin"
