《Matty Groves》歌词

[00:00:00] Matty Groves - Moriarty

[00:00:13] Was on the high high holy day

[00:00:16] The best day of the year

[00:00:19] Little Matty groves went to church

[00:00:22] A gospel for to hear

[00:00:24] A gospel for to hear

[00:00:29] And first to come down was dressed in green

[00:00:32] And the second one dressed in red

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

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

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

[00:00:43] Then Matty groves says to one of his men

[00:00:46] See the fair one dressed in white

[00:00:49] Although she is lord Daniel's wife

[00:00:52] I'll be with her tonight

[00:00:54] I'll be with her tonight

[00:00:57] And little foot page he was standing by

[00:01:00] And heard all that was said

[00:01:03] He says lord Daniel shall know tonight

[00:01:06] Before I go to bed

[00:01:08] Before I go to bed

[00:01:23] He had fifteen miles for to go that night

[00:01:26] And ten of them he run

[00:01:29] He run til he come to the broke down bridge

[00:01:32] Then he bent to his breast and he swum

[00:01:34] He bent to his breast and he swum

[00:01:37] He swum til he come to where the grass was green

[00:01:40] He took to his feet and he run

[00:01:42] He run til he come to lord Daniel's gate

[00:01:46] Then he rattled at the bells and he rung

[00:01:48] He rattled at the bells and he rung

[00:02:02] What news what news what news

[00:02:05] What news have you bring

[00:02:08] Little Matty groves is in your bed with your wife

[00:02:11] And their hearts both beat as one

[00:02:13] Their hearts both beat as one

[00:02:16] Now if the truth you've told me

[00:02:19] A rich man you shall be

[00:02:22] But if a lie you've told to me

[00:02:25] I'll hang you to a tree

[00:02:27] I'll hang you to a tree

[00:02:30] Then he gathered him up about fifty good men

[00:02:33] And he done it with a free good will

[00:02:36] Then he popped his bugle to his mouth

[00:02:39] And he blowed it loud and shrill

[00:02:42] He blowed it loud and shrill

[00:02:56] I'd better get up said little Matty groves

[00:02:59] I'd better get up and go

[00:03:02] I know your husband is coming home

[00:03:05] I hear his bugle blow

[00:03:07] I hear his bugle blow

[00:03:10] Lay down lay down my precious one

[00:03:13] Lay down and go to sleep

[00:03:16] It's only my father's shepherd's horn

[00:03:19] And he's a calling for his sheep

[00:03:21] He's a calling for his sheep

[00:03:24] So they laid down together again

[00:03:27] And soon were fast asleep

[00:03:29] And when they awoke it was broad daylight

[00:03:33] Lord Daniel at their feet

[00:03:35] Lord Daniel at their feet

[00:03:50] Get up from there your naked man

[00:03:53] And put you on some clothes

[00:03:55] I never intend for to have it said

[00:03:59] That a naked man I slow

[00:04:01] That a naked man I slow

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

[00:04:07] And he wounded lord Daniel sore

[00:04:09] Lord Daniel struck the very next lick

[00:04:12] And he drove Matty groves to the floor

[00:04:14] He drove Matty groves to the floor

[00:04:20] Then he taken his lady by the hand

[00:04:23] And he sat her on his knee

[00:04:26] And he says now which do you love the best

[00:04:29] Little Matty groves or me

[00:04:31] Little Matty groves or me

[00:04:35] Very well I like your rosy cheeks

[00:04:38] Very well I like your chin

[00:04:41] But better I love little Matty groves

[00:04:44] Than you and all of your kin

[00:04:46] Than you and all of your kin

[00:04:51] You can dig my grave on a pretty green hill

[00:04:54] And dig it wide and deep

[00:04:57] And put little Matty groves in my arms

[00:05:00] Lord Daniel at my feet

[00:05:02] Lord Daniel at my feet

[00:05:08] You can dig my grave on a pretty green hill

[00:05:11] And dig it wide and deep

[00:05:13] And put little Matty groves in my arms

[00:05:16] Lord Daniel at my feet

[00:05:19] Lord Daniel at my feet
