[Verse 1]
A holiday, a holiday
And the first one of the year
Lord Arnold's wife came into the church
The gospel for to hear
[Verse 2]
And when the meeting it was done
She cast her eyes about
And there she spied little Matty Groves
A-walking through the crowd
[Verse 3]
Said, "Come home with me, little Matty Groves
Come home with me tonight
Come home with me, young Matty Groves
And sleep with me till light"
[Verse 4]
"Oh, I can't come home, I won't come home
Sleeping with you tonight
For by the rings on your fingers I can tell
You are my master's wife"
[Verse 5]
"And what if I am Lord Arnold's wife?
He is not at home
He is out to the far country
He's bringing the yearlings home"
