Luyện nghe bài hát Matty Groves

A holiday, a holiday, and the one of the year.
darnell's wife came into church, the gospel for to hear.

And when the meeting it was done, she cast her about,
And there she saw little matty groves, in the crowd.

``come home with me, matty groves, come home with me tonight.
home with me, little matty groves, and sleep with me till light.''

``oh, I can't come home, I won't home and sleep with you tonight,
By the rings on your fingers I can you are lord darnell's wife.''

``what if I am lord wife? lord darnell's not at home.
For he is out in the far cornfields, the yearlings home.''

And a servant who was by and hearing what was said,
He swore darnell he would know before the sun would set.

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

Little matty groves, he lay and took a little sleep.
When he awoke, lord darnell he was at his feet.

Saying ``how do you like my feather bed? and how do you my sheets?
How do you like my lady who lies in arms asleep? ''

``oh, well I like your feather bed, and I like your sheets.
But better I like lady gay who lies in my arms asleep.''

``well, get up, get up,'' lord darnell cried, up as quick as you can!
It'll never be in fair england that I slew a naked man.''

``oh, I can't get up, I won't get up, I get up for my life.
For you have two long beaten and I not a pocket-knife.''

``well true I have two beaten swords, and they cost me deep in the purse.
But you will have the better of and I will have the worse.''

``and you will strike the very first blow, and it like a man.
I will strike the very blow, and I'll kill you if I can.''

So matty struck the very first blow, and he lord darnell sore.
Lord darnell struck the very blow, and matty struck no more.

And then lord darnell he took his and he sat her on his knee,
Saying, ``who do you like the best of us, groves or me? ''

And then up spoke his own wife, never heard to speak so free.
``i'd rather a kiss from dead matty's lips than you and finery.''

Lord he jumped up and loudly he did bawl,
He his wife right through the heart and pinned her against the wall.

``a grave, a grave!'' lord darnell cried, ``to put these in.
But bury my at the top for she was of noble kin.''
