[verse 1]
oh, holiday, high holy day
the best day of the year
young mattie groves, to church did go
some holy words to hear
some holy words to hear

[verse 2]
he spied some ladies dressed in black
as they come into view
lord arlen’s wife was gaily clad
the fairest of the few
the flower of the few

[verse 3]
she tripped up to mattie groves
her eyes, so low, cast down
“oh, pray, come stay the night with me
as you pass through the town
as you pass through the town”

[verse 4]
“i dare not stay, i can’t not stay
i fear it would cost my life
for i know you by your middle ring
to be lord arlen’s wife
the great lord arlen’s wife”
[verse 5]
“this may be true, this may be false
i can’t deny it all
but arlen’s gone to consecrate
king henry of whitehall
king henry of whitehall”

[verse 6]
now her pretty page did listen well
to all that they did say
and as the sun did set again
he quickly sped away
he quickly sped away

[verse 7]
oh, he did run the king’s highway
and he did swim the tide
and he ne’er did stop until he come
unto lord arlen’s side
the great lord arlen’s side

[verse 8]
“how now, how now, my boldy boy
what news bring you to me?
my castle burns? my tenants roam?
my lady with baby?
my lady with baby?”
[verse 9]
“no harm has fell your house and lands
while thee has been away
but mattie groves is bedded up
with your fair lady g*y
with your fair lady g*y”

“if this be true, if this be false
as i take it to be
i’ll build a scaffold castle high
and hanged you shall be
and hanged you shall be”

[verse 11]
“lord arlen, if what i have said
is false, as false can be
you need not build a scaffold high
but hang me to a tree
yes, hang me to a tree”

lord arlen called his merry men
and back they with him did go
and bid them ne’er a word speak
and ne’er a h*rn to blow
and ne’er a h*rn to blow
[verse 13]
among lord arlen’s merry men
be those who wish no ill
and the bravest one, he blew his h*rn
a blast so loud and shrill
a blast so loud and shrill

[verse 14]
“what’s this, what’s this?” cried mattie groves
“a h*rn so loud and clear
’tis nothing more than arlen’s men
the ones that i do fear
the ones that i do fear”

[verse 15]
“lie down, lie down” cried arlen’s wife
“and keep my back from cold
’tis nothing but a shepherd’s h*rn
that calls the sheep to fold
that calls the sheep to fold”

[verse 16]
now, mattie groves, he did lie down
he took a nap of sleep
but when he woke lord arlen was
a standin’ at his feet
a standin’ at his feet

[verse 17]
“how now, how now” lord arlen cried
“how do you like my sheet?
and like you were, my lady g*y?
what lies by you asleep
what lies by you asleep”

[verse 18]
“oh, it’s very well, i like your bed
as well i like your sheet
but best i like your lady g*y
what lies by me asleep
what lies by me asleep”

[verse 19]
“get up, get up, put on thine clothes
as quick as e’er you can
in england it shall not be said
i slued a naked man
i slued a naked man”

[verse 20]
“i dare not rise, i can’t not rise
i fear it would cost my life
for you have got two better swords
and i ain’t got a knife
and i ain’t got a knife”

[verse 21]
“i know i got two better swords
they cost me deep in my purse
but you shall have the bestest one
and i shall take the worst
and i shall take the worst”

[verse 22]
the firstest stroke, little mattie struck
it hurt lord arlen’s [?]
the nextest stroke, lord arlen struck
little mattie struck no more
little mattie struck no more

[verse 23]
“rise up, rise up, my fair young wife
draw on thy pretty clothes
and tell me, do you love me best
or love your mattie groves?
or love your mattie groves?”

[verse 24]
oh, she lifted mattie, dying thing
she kissed from cheek to chin
“oh, it’s mattie groves i’d rather have
than arlen and all his kin
than arlen and all his kin”

[verse 25]
so, he took his wife by the lily white hand
and he lead her through the hall
and he cut off her head with his better sword
and he throwed it again’ the wall
he throwed it again’ the wall

[verse 26]
“oh, woe is me, my merry men
why stay do you at my hand?
for here i slue the fairest folk
in all of england
in all of england”
