《’Big Three’ Medley (Live From The Mill， UK / 1987)》歌词

[00:10:52] A holiday

[00:10:52] A holiday

[00:10:52] And the first one of the year

[00:10:52] Lord donald's wife came into the church

[00:10:52] The gospel for to hear

[00:10:52] And when the meeting it was done

[00:10:52] She cast her eyes about

[00:10:52] And there she saw little matty groves

[00:10:52] Walking in the crowd

[00:10:52] "Come with me

[00:10:52] Little matty groves

[00:10:52] Come with me tonight

[00:10:52] Come with me

[00:10:52] Little matty groves

[00:10:52] And sleep with me 'til light"

[00:10:52] "Oh

[00:10:52] I can't come

[00:10:52] I won't come

[00:10:52] And sleep with you tonight

[00:10:52] By the rings on your fingers

[00:10:52] I can tell you are lord donald's wife"

[00:10:52] "But if I am lord donald's wife

[00:10:52] Lord donald's not at

[00:10:52] He is out in the far cornfields

[00:10:52] Bringing the yearlings"

[00:10:52] And a servant who was standing by

[00:10:52] And hearing what was said

[00:10:52] He swore lord donald he would know

[00:10:52] Before the sun would set

[00:10:52] And in his hurry to carry the news

[00:10:52] He bent his breast and ran

[00:10:52] And when he came to the broad mill stream

[00:10:52] He took off his shoes and he swam

[00:10:52] Little matty groves

[00:10:52] He lay down

[00:10:52] And took a little sleep

[00:10:52] When he awoke

[00:10:52] Lord donald

[00:10:52] Was standing at his feet

[00:10:52] Saying

[00:10:52] "How do you like my feather bed

[00:10:52] And how do you like my sheets

[00:10:52] How do you like my lady

[00:10:52] Who lies in your arms asleep"

[00:10:52] "Oh

[00:10:52] Well

[00:10:52] I like your feather bed

[00:10:52] And well

[00:10:52] I like your sheets

[00:10:52] But better I like your lady gay

[00:10:52] Who lies in my arms asleep"

[00:10:52] "Well

[00:10:52] Get up

[00:10:52] Get up"

[00:10:52] Lord donald cried

[00:10:52] "Get up as quick as you can

[00:10:52] It'll never be said in fair england

[00:10:52] I slew a naked man"

[00:10:52] "Oh

[00:10:52] I can't get up

[00:10:52] I won't get up

[00:10:52] I can't get up for my life

[00:10:52] For you have two long beaten swords

[00:10:52] And I not a pocket knife"

[00:10:52] "Well

[00:10:52] It's true I have two beaten swords

[00:10:52] And they cost me deep in the purse

[00:10:52] But you will have the better of them

[00:10:52] And I will have the worse"

[00:10:52] "And you will strike the very first blow

[00:10:52] And strike it like a man

[00:10:52] I will strike the very next blow

[00:10:52] And I'll kill you if I can"

[00:10:52] So matty struck the very first blow

[00:10:52] And he hurt lord donald sore

[00:10:52] Lord donald struck the very next blow

[00:10:52] And matty struck no more

[00:10:52] And then lord donald he took his wife

[00:10:52] And he sat her on his knee

[00:10:52] Saying

[00:10:52] "Who do you like the best of us

[00:10:52] Matty groves or me"

[00:10:52] And then up spoke his own dear wife

[00:10:52] Never heard to speak so free

[00:10:52] "I'd rather a kiss from dead matty's lips

[00:10:52] Than you or your finery"

[00:10:52] Lord donald

[00:10:52] He jumped up

[00:10:52] And loudly he did bawl

[00:10:52] He struck his wife right through the heart

[00:10:52] And pinned her against the wall

[00:10:52] "A grave

[00:10:52] A grave"

[00:10:52] Lord donald cried

[00:10:52] "To put these lovers in

[00:10:52] But bury my lady at the top

[00:10:52] For she was of noble kin"
