The English Ballad "Matty Groves" (Part 2) (Pictures correspond to Verses) 1. He did run the Kings Highway, he swam across the tide. And he ne’er did stop until he came to the great Lord Arlyn’s side, To the great Lord Arlyn’s side.   2. What news, what news, me bowly boy, what news bring you to me? My castle burned, my tenants wronged, or my lady with baby, My lady with baby. 3. No harm has come your house and land, the little page did say, But Matty Groves is bedded up, with your fair lady gay, With your fair Lady gay. 4. Lord Arlyn called his men and he bade them with him go.  And he bade them ne’er a word to speak, and ne’er a horn to blow, And ne’er a horn to blow. 5. Among Lord Arlyn’s merry men ’twas one who wished no ill, And ere the castle was in sight, blew his horn so loud so shrill, Blew a blast so loud so shrill. 6. What’s this, what’s this, cried Matty Groves, what’s this that I do hear? It must be Lord Arlyn’s merry men, the ones that I do fear, The ones that I do fear. To be continued...
