It fell upon a holy-day
G
As many in the year,
G C
Musgrave to the church did go
G C G
to see fine ladies there
G C
And some were dressed in velvet red
G
and some in velvet pale
G C

The fairest among them all.
G C
She cast an eye on Little Musgrave,

G
This thing that you tell me,
G C
All the gold in Bucklesford Berry
G C G
Gladly I'll give to thee.
G C
'But if this be a lie, thou little foot page,
G
This thing that you tell me,
G C
From the highest tree in Bucklesfordberry,
G C G
Hanged you shall be.'
G C
"Go saddle me the black he said
