LITTLE MUSGROVE AND LADY BARNSWELL source: “British Ballads From Maine: The Development of Popular Songs with Texts and Airs” by Phillips Barry, Fannie Hardy Eckstorm, and Mary Winslow Smyth, 1929 There were nine ladies of the East Assembled at the ball The first to come in was Lord Barnswell’s Lady The fairest of them all She cast her eyes on Little Musgrove And Little Musgrove on she How much would you take you Little Musgrove To tarry all night with me To tarry all night with you fair lady Would cause no end of war I know you are Lord Barnswell’s lady By the gold rings you wear So what if I am Lord Barnswell’s lady This night I mean to beguile For he is away to fair old England He won’t be back for a while What is it that I hear Says Little Musgrove says he No no it is but the wind As it stirs the leaves on the tree Lie still lie still you Little Musgrove And shield me from the cold It’s not it’s not but a little shepherd As he drives his sheep to the fold Then up came Barnswell and his men And pounded at the ring Rise up rise up you Little Musgrove Rise up and let me in He’s taken off the coverlet He’s taken off the sheets Oh now oh now my Little Musgrove Do you find my lady sweet Rise up rise up you Little Musgrove And you your clothes put on For it should never be said of Barnswell That he killed a naked man The very first blow that Musgrove gave He wounded Lord Barnswell sore The very first blow that Lord Barnswell gave And Little Musgrove was no more She lifted up his dying head And kissed him from cheek to chin I’d rather have you oh Little Musgrove Than Banswell and all his kin He’s turned around to his fair lady And stabbed her to the heart Since in this life you have lovers been In death you shall not part
