Lyrics Matt Hyland - Kate Rusby
There
was
a
lord,
lived
in
this
town
Who
had
a
handsome,
lovely
daughter.
She
was
courted
by
a
fair
young
man
Who
was
a
servant
to
her
father.
But
when
her
parents
they
came
to
know
They
swore
they'd
send
him
from
the
island.
The
maid
she
knew
her
heart
would
break
Had
she
to
part
with
young
Matt
Hyland.
Then
straightway
unto
her
love
she
goes,
Into
his
room
him
to
awaken.
Saying,
arise
my
love,
and
go
away,
This
very
night
you
will
be
taken.
I
overheard
my
parents
say
In
spite
of
me
he
will
transport
you.
So
arise,
my
love,
and
go
away,
I
wish
to
God
I'd
gone
before
you.
Oh
must
I
go,
to
her
he
said,
Oh
must
I
go
without
my
wages.
Without
one
penny
allin
my
purse
Just
like
some
poor,
forlorn
stranger
Here's
fifty
guineas
all
in
bright
gold
And
that's
far
more
than
father
owes
you.
So
take
it
now
and
go
away,
I
wish
to
God
I'd
gone
before
you.
They
both
sat
down
upon
the
bed
Just
for
the
side
of
one
half
hour,
Not
a
word
did
either
speak,
But
down
their
cheeks
the
tears
did
shower.
She
rests
her
head
upon
his
breast
And
round
his
neck
her
arms
entwined.
Not
duke
nor
lord,
nor
earl
I'll
wed
I'll
wait
for
thee
my
own
Matt
Hyland.
I'll
wait
for
thee
my
own
Matt
Hyland.
I'll
wait
for
thee
my
own
Matt
Hyland
