Matty Groves (马蒂·格罗夫斯) - Doc Watson
Was on the high high holy day
The very best day in the year

Little matty groves had gone to church
Holy words for to hear

Holy words for to hear

The first to come down was dressed in red
And the second one dressed in green

The third to come down was lord daniel's wife
As fair as any queen
Just as fair as any queen

Then matty groves says to one of his men
See the fair one dressed in white

Although she is lord daniel's wife
I'll be with her tonight
I'll be with her tonight

Well the little foot page was standing by
And heard every word that was said

He says lord daniel shall know tonight
Before I go to bed
Before I go to bed

He had 15 miles for to go that night
And 10 of them he run

He run till he come to the broke down bridge
Then he bent to his breast and swum
He bent to his breast and swum

He swum till he come to where the grass was green
He took to his feet and he run

He run till he come to lord daniel's gate
Then he rattled at the bells and they rung
He rattled at the bells and they rung

What news what news lord daniel says
What news to me have you brung

Little matty groves is in the bed with your wife
And their hearts both beat as one
And their hearts both beat as one

Now if the truth you've told to me
A rich man you shall be

But if a lie you've told to me
I'll hang you to a tree
I'll hang you to a tree

He gathered him up about 50 good men
He done it with a free good will

Then he popped his bugle unto his lips
And he blowed it loud and shrill
He blowed it loud and shrill

I'd better get up said little matty groves
I'd better get up and go

I know your husband is a coming home
For I heard his bugle blow
I heard his bugle blow

Lay down lay down my precious one
Lay down and go to sleep

It's only my father's shepherd's horn
And he's a calling for his sheep
He's a calling for his sheep

So they laid down together again
And they soon were fast asleep

And when they awoke it was broad daylight
Lord daniel at their feet
Lord daniel at their feet

Get up from there your naked man
And put you on some clothes

I never intend for to have it said
That a naked man I slow
That a naked man I slow

Oh give me a chance said little matty groves
A chance to fight for my life

For there you have two very fine swords
And me not as much as a knife
And me not as much as a knife
Oh yes I have two very fine swords
And they cost me deep in the purse

You may have the finest one
And I will take the worst
Yes I will take the worst
Then matty groves struck the very first lick
And he wounded lord daniel sore

Lord daniel struck the very next lick
And he drove matty groves to the floor
He drove matty groves to the floor

Then he taken his lady by the hand
And he sat her on his knee

And he says now which do you love the best
Little matty groves or me
Little matty groves or me

Very well I like your rosy cheeks
Very well I like your chin

But better I love little matty groves
Than you and all of your kin
Than you and all of your kin

You can dig my grave on a pretty green hill
Dig it wide and deep

And put little matty groves in my arms
Lord daniel at my feet

Lord daniel at my feet
