《Matty Groves》歌词

[00:00:00] Matty Groves (马蒂·格罗夫斯) - Doc Watson

[00:00:10] Was on the high high holy day

[00:00:13] The very best day in the year

[00:00:18] Little matty groves had gone to church

[00:00:21] Holy words for to hear

[00:00:23] Holy words for to hear

[00:00:27] The first to come down was dressed in red

[00:00:31] And the second one dressed in green

[00:00:35] The third to come down was lord daniel's wife

[00:00:38] As fair as any queen

[00:00:40] Just as fair as any queen

[00:00:47] Then matty groves says to one of his men

[00:00:50] See the fair one dressed in white

[00:00:54] Although she is lord daniel's wife

[00:00:57] I'll be with her tonight

[00:00:59] I'll be with her tonight

[00:01:05] Well the little foot page was standing by

[00:01:08] And heard every word that was said

[00:01:13] He says lord daniel shall know tonight

[00:01:16] Before I go to bed

[00:01:18] Before I go to bed

[00:01:29] He had 15 miles for to go that night

[00:01:33] And 10 of them he run

[00:01:37] He run till he come to the broke down bridge

[00:01:40] Then he bent to his breast and swum

[00:01:42] He bent to his breast and swum

[00:01:47] He swum till he come to where the grass was green

[00:01:50] He took to his feet and he run

[00:01:54] He run till he come to lord daniel's gate

[00:01:58] Then he rattled at the bells and they rung

[00:01:59] He rattled at the bells and they rung

[00:02:10] What news what news lord daniel says

[00:02:13] What news to me have you brung

[00:02:18] Little matty groves is in the bed with your wife

[00:02:21] And their hearts both beat as one

[00:02:22] And their hearts both beat as one

[00:02:27] Now if the truth you've told to me

[00:02:30] A rich man you shall be

[00:02:34] But if a lie you've told to me

[00:02:37] I'll hang you to a tree

[00:02:39] I'll hang you to a tree

[00:02:43] He gathered him up about 50 good men

[00:02:46] He done it with a free good will

[00:02:50] Then he popped his bugle unto his lips

[00:02:53] And he blowed it loud and shrill

[00:02:55] He blowed it loud and shrill

[00:03:01] I'd better get up said little matty groves

[00:03:04] I'd better get up and go

[00:03:08] I know your husband is a coming home

[00:03:11] For I heard his bugle blow

[00:03:13] I heard his bugle blow

[00:03:17] Lay down lay down my precious one

[00:03:20] Lay down and go to sleep

[00:03:24] It's only my father's shepherd's horn

[00:03:27] And he's a calling for his sheep

[00:03:29] He's a calling for his sheep

[00:03:41] So they laid down together again

[00:03:44] And they soon were fast asleep

[00:03:48] And when they awoke it was broad daylight

[00:03:51] Lord daniel at their feet

[00:03:53] Lord daniel at their feet

[00:03:57] Get up from there your naked man

[00:04:00] And put you on some clothes

[00:04:04] I never intend for to have it said

[00:04:07] That a naked man I slow

[00:04:09] That a naked man I slow

[00:04:22] Oh give me a chance said little matty groves

[00:04:25] A chance to fight for my life

[00:04:29] For there you have two very fine swords

[00:04:32] And me not as much as a knife

[00:04:34] And me not as much as a knife

[00:04:38] Oh yes I have two very fine swords

[00:04:41] And they cost me deep in the purse

[00:04:45] You may have the finest one

[00:04:48] And I will take the worst

[00:04:50] Yes I will take the worst

[00:04:54] Then matty groves struck the very first lick

[00:04:57] And he wounded lord daniel sore

[00:05:01] Lord daniel struck the very next lick

[00:05:04] And he drove matty groves to the floor

[00:05:06] He drove matty groves to the floor

[00:05:10] Then he taken his lady by the hand

[00:05:13] And he sat her on his knee

[00:05:17] And he says now which do you love the best

[00:05:20] Little matty groves or me

[00:05:22] Little matty groves or me

[00:05:26] Very well I like your rosy cheeks

[00:05:29] Very well I like your chin

[00:05:33] But better I love little matty groves

[00:05:36] Than you and all of your kin

[00:05:38] Than you and all of your kin

[00:05:42] You can dig my grave on a pretty green hill

[00:05:45] Dig it wide and deep

[00:05:49] And put little matty groves in my arms

[00:05:52] Lord daniel at my feet

[00:05:54] Lord daniel at my feet
