[00:00:02] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:19] 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

[00:00:28] And when the meeting it was done

[00:00:31] 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

[00:00:44] Come home with me little Matty Groves

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

[00:00:49] Oh I can't come home I won't come home

[00:00:52] And sleep with you tonight

[00:00:55] By the rings on your fingers I can tell

[00:00:57] You are lord Donald's wife

[00:01:00] What if I am lord Donald's wife

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

[00:01:05] For he is out in the far cornfields

[00:01:08] Bringing the yearlings home

[00:01:21] And a servant who was standing by

[00:01:23] And hearing what was said

[00:01:26] He swore lord Donald he would know

[00:01:29] Before the sun would set

[00:01:31] And in his hurry to carry the news

[00:01:34] He bent his breast and ran

[00:01:36] And when he came to the broad millstream

[00:01:39] He took off his shoes and swam

[00:01:52] Little Matty Groves he lay down

[00:01:55] And took a little sleep

[00:01:57] When he awoke lord Donald

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

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

[00:02:05] And how do you like my sheets

[00:02:08] How do you like my lady

[00:02:10] Who lies in your arms asleep

[00:02:13] Well I like your feather bed

[00:02:16] And well I like your sheets

[00:02:18] But better I like your lady gay

[00:02:21] Who lies in my arms asleep

[00:02:23] Well get up get up lord Donald cried

[00:02:26] Get up as quick as you can

[00:02:28] It'll never be said in fair England

[00:02:31] I slew a naked man

[00:02:33] Oh I can't get up I won't get up

[00:02:36] I can't get up for my life

[00:02:39] For you have two long beaten swords

[00:02:42] And I not a pocket knife

[00:02:44] Well it's true I have two beaten swords

[00:02:47] And they cost me deep in the purse

[00:02:49] But you will have the better of them

[00:02:52] And I will have the worse

[00:02:54] And you will strike the very first blow

[00:02:57] And strike it like a man

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

[00:03:02] And I'll kill you if I can

[00:03:15] So Matty struck the very first blow

[00:03:18] And he hurt lord Donald sore

[00:03:20] Lord Donald struck the very next blow

[00:03:23] And Matty struck no more

[00:03:25] And then lord Donald he took his wife

[00:03:28] And he sat her on his knee

[00:03:30] Saying who do you like the best of us

[00:03:34] Matty Groves or me

[00:03:36] And then up spoke his own dear wife

[00:03:38] Never heard to speak so free

[00:03:41] I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips

[00:03:44] Than you or your finery

[00:03:57] And then lord Donald he jumped up

[00:03:59] And loudly he did bawl

[00:04:02] He struck his wife right through the heart

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

[00:04:07] A grave a grave lord Donald cried

[00:04:10] To put these lovers in

[00:04:12] But bury my lady at the top

[00:04:14] For she was of noble kin
