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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

``well, get up, get up,'' lord cried, ``get up as quick as you can!
It'll never be said in england 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 have two long swords and I not a pocket-knife.''

``well it's true I have two 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 first blow, and strike it like a man.
I will strike the next blow, and I'll kill you if I can.''

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

And then darnell he took his wife 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 dear wife, never heard to so free.
``i'd a kiss from dead matty's lips than you and your 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.''
