Luyện nghe bài hát Matty Groves

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lord darnell he jumped up and 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 lady at the top for she was of kin.''
