Lyrics : Little Musgrave

It fell upon a holy day
As many in the year
Musgrave to the church did go
To see fine ladies there

And some were dressed in velvet red
And some in velvet pale
Then came Lord Barnard's wife
The fairest 'mongst them all

She cast an eye on the Little Musgrave
As bright as summer's sun
Said Musgrave unto himself
This lady's heart I've won

I have loved you, fair lady, full long and many's the day
And I have loved you, Little Musgrave, and never a word did say

I've a bower in Bucklesfordbury, it's my heart's delight
I'll take you back there with me if you'll lie in me arms tonight

But standing by was a little footpage, from the lady's coach he ran
Although I am a lady's page, I am Lord Barnard's man
And milord Barnard will hear of this, oh whether I sink or swim
Everywhere the bridge was broke he'd enter the water and swim
