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

``come with me, little 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 I can tell 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 by and hearing what was said,
He swore lord he would know before the sun would set.

And in his to carry 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 down and a little sleep.
When he awoke, 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 lies in arms asleep? ''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lord he jumped up and loudly he did bawl,
He struck his wife 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.''
