A holiday, a holiday, and the first one of the year
Lord Arnold's wife to the church did go, the Gospel for to hear


And when the meeting it was done, she cast her eyes about
And there she spied little Matty Groves, walking in the crowd


"Come home with me little Matty Groves, come home with me tonight
Come home with me little Matty Groves, and sleep with me till light."


"Oh I can't come home and I won't come home, to sleep with you tonight
By the rings on your fingers I can tell, you are Lord Arnold's wife."


"What if I am Lord Arnold's wife, he is not at home
He's away in the far cornfields, he's bringing the yearl
Way Of The World Lyrics
You got the key to unknown land And tried to keep your helping hand We found the complete way to go Your spirit patched up broken wings Your patience healed out wounded skins You took your time to rescue life Left things go right and black turns to white We lived as we borrowed the time Fire and ice and water was turned int
ings home."


A servant who was standing by, hearing what was said
Swore Lord Arnold he would know before the sun had set


And in his hurry to carry the news, he bent his breast and ran
And when he came to the broad mill stream, he took off his shoes and swam


Little Matty Groves, he lay down and took a little sleep
And when he woke Lord Donald was standing at his feet


Saying "How do you like my feather bed, and how do you like my sheets
And how do you like my lady gay who lies in your arms asleep?"


"Oh it's well I like your feather bed, better I like your sheets
Best of all I like your lady who lies in my arms a
Trashing Days Lyrics
Then i come in, they go mad, hit my nose and hit my back, break me every single bone, throw me out just like a stone. It's the corner. it's the dress, small the town and big the mess, that I cause with every step, but still I walk, nonetheless. They're skipping backwards, they're thrashing days, is that all they
leep."


"Get up, get up," Lord Arnold cried, "get up as quick as you can
For they'll never say in England that I killed a sleeping man."


"Oh I can't get up, I won't get up, I wouldn't get up for my life
For you have two long beaten swords, and I not a pocket knife."


"It's true I have two beaten swords, and they cost me deep in my purse
But you shall have the better of them, and I will use the worse


"And you shall strike me the very first blow, strike it like a man!
For I will strike the very nex blow, I'll kill you if I can."


So Matty struck the very first blow, and he hurt Lord Arnold
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE Lyrics
I don't know what it is you got But it's plain enough to see Whatever it is sure Means alot to me, oh yeah I try to turn and walk away But it does no good, I've gotta stay This feelin' that you give Won't let me be, oh no CHORUS: You really got a hold on me, yeah, yeah I can't live without your love I can't live
sore
Lord Arnold struck the very next blow, and Matty struck no more


And then Lord Arnold he took his wife, and set her on his knee
Saying "Who do you like the best of us now, your dead Matty Groves or me?"


And then up spoke his own dear wife, never heard to speak so free
"I had rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips than you and your finery."


At that Lord Arnold he did jump up and loudly did he bawl
He struck his wife right through the heart and pinned her against the wall


"A grave, a grave," Lord Arnold cried, "to put these lovers in
But bury my lady at the top, for she was of noble kin."
