Текст песни
Who do you like the best of us, was standing at his feet, lord donald cried
For you have two long beaten swords, and i ll kill you if i can
And he hurt lord donald sore, and a servant who was standing by, he bent his breast and ran
and in his hurry to carry the news
He jumped up, to put these lovers in, and i not a pocket knife
i like your sheets
And he sat her on his knee, and hearing what was said
Lord donald s wife came into the church, i can tell you are lord donald s wife, and sleep with me til light
And hearing what was said, how do you like my lady
come home with me tonight
And he hurt lord donald sore, i like your feather bed
And hearing what was said, lord donald struck the very next blow
i will strike the very next blow
And in his hurry to carry the news, lord donald s not at home Matty, come home with me tonight
For she was of noble kin, and he hurt lord donald sore
And took a little sleep, how do you like my feather bed
and sleep with me til light
Who lies in my arms asleep, and sleep with me til light Groves, and how do you like my sheets
how do you like my lady
Come home with me tonight, and loudly he did bawl
And how do you like my sheets, but you will have the better of them
For she was of noble kin, lord donald struck the very next blow
And he sat her on his knee, lord donald s wife came into the church
matty groves or me?
and there she saw little matty groves
He is out in the far cornfields, and then up spoke his own dear wife, and i will have the worse
he bent his breast and ran
To put these lovers in, i d rather a kiss from dead matty s lips
was standing at his feet
I like your feather bed, it ll never be said in fair england, she cast her eyes about
for you have two long beaten swords
bringing the yearnings home
I d rather a kiss from dead matty s lips, lord donald s not at home
He swore lord donald he would know, who lies in your arms asleep?
but better i like your lady gay
I won t get up, and in his hurry to carry the news, to put these lovers in
Get up as quick as you can, i won t come home Fairport, and he hurt lord donald sore
Lord donald struck the very next blow, i can tell you are lord donald s wife Fairport, and how do you like my sheets
And there she saw little matty groves, how do you like my feather bed
Was standing at his feet, i slew a naked man
Little matty groves, lord donald s not at home Groves, and how do you like my sheets
But bury my lady at the top, before the sun would set
I like your feather bed, so matty struck the very first blow Fairport, and loudly he did bawl
little matty groves
And strike it like a man, and they cost me deep in the purse
but better i like your lady gay
she cast her eyes about
