    Verse 1
    Applause 



    Holiday, 
    holiday, 

    I'm 
    the first 
    one 
    of 
    the year 

    Lord 
    Arnold's 
    wife 
    came 

    in
    to the 
    church, 

    the gos
    pel 
    brought 
    her here 

    And 
    when 
    the 
    meeting 
    it 
    was 
    done, 

    she 
    cast 
    her 
    eyes 
    about 

    And 
    there 
    she spied 
    young 
    Matty 
    Groves, 

    -walking 
    in 
    the crowd 

    Said, 
    come home 
    with me, 

    little 
    Matty 
    Groves, 

    come 
    home 
    with me 
    tonight 

    Come 
    home 
    with me, 
    young 
    Matty 
    Groves, 

    and 
    sleep 
    with 
    me 
    to
    night 

    Well, 
    can't 
    come 
    home 

    and 
    I won't 
    come 
    home 

    I'm 
    sleeping 
    with you 
    tonight 

    For 
    by 
    the nails 
    on 
    your fingers 

    can 
    tell 
    You are 
    me master's 
    wife 

    And 
    what if 
    am 
    Lord 
    Arnold's 
    wife? 

    He 
    is 
    not at 
    home 

    He 
    is 
    out in 
    the 
    far 
    country 

    He's 
    bringing 
    a yearling's 

    home 


    God 
    turned 
    to 
    standing 
    boy, 

    hearing 
    what 
    was 
    said. 

    Swallowed 
    on 
    all he 
    would 
    know, 

    before 
    the 
    sun 
    did 
    set. 

    And 
    in 
    his 
    hurry 
    to 
    carry 
    his 
    news, 

    he bent 
    his 
    breast 
    and he 
    ran. 

    And 
    when he 
    came 
    to 
    the straw 
    mill 
    stream, 

    he 
    took off 
    his shoes 
    and 
    he swam. 

    Little 
    Matty 
    Groves, 

    he lay 
    down 

    and he 
    took a 
    little 
    sleep 

    And 
    when 
    he 
    awoke, 

    Lord 
    Alan 
    was 
    standing 
    by 
    his 
    feet 

    Say
    ing, 
    how 
    do 
    you like 
    my 
    feather 
    bed? 

    How 
    do 
    you 
    like 
    my sheets? 

    And how 
    do you 
    like 
    my 
    lady 
    wife, 

    who lies 
    in 
    your arms 
    asleep? 

    Oh 
    well, 
    I like 
    your 
    feather 
    bed 

    better 
    than I 
    like 
    your sheets 

    And 
    best 
    like 
    your lady 
    waifu 

    lying 
    in me 
    arms 
    asleep 

    Get 
    up, get 
    up, 
    get up, 
    Lord 
    Arnold, 

    try 
    and 
    get up 
    as 
    quick as 
    you can 

    But 
    it'll 
    never 
    be sat 
    in 
    despair 

    and 
    slew 
    a naked 
    man 

    Well, 
    I can't 
    get 
    up and 
    won't 
    get 
    up, 

    won't 
    get 
    up for 
    my 
    life 

    For 
    you 
    have 
    too 
    long 
    beaten 
    sword

    and 
    I ain't 
    not 
    a fucking 
    knight 

    It's 
    true, 
    I have 
    two 
    beating 
    swords, 


    they thrust 
    me deep 
    in 
    the past 

    But 
    you 
    will 
    have 
    the 
    better 
    of them, 

    and 
    will 
    keep 
    the worst 

    And 
    you 
    will 
    strike 
    me the 

    very 
    first 
    blow, 

    you'll 
    strike 
    it 
    like 
    a man 

    will 
    strike 
    the very 
    next 
    blow, 

    and 
    I'll 
    kill 
    you 
    if 
    can 

    So 
    Matty 
    struck 
    the 
    bed 

    he burst 
    below 
    and he 
    hurt 

    Lord 
    Arnold's 
    sore 

    Lord 
    Arnold 
    struck 
    the 
    bed 

    he next 
    below 

    and 
    Matty 
    struck 
    the 
    floor 

    And 
    then 
    he took 
    his 
    own 
    dear 
    wife, 

    sat her 
    up on 
    his 
    knee 

    And 
    said, 
    who 
    do you 
    like 
    the best 
    of 
    us? 

    Now 
    you're 
    dead, Matty 
    Groves, 
    or me? 

    And 
    then I 
    spoke 
    in 
    her own 
    dear 
    way, 

    never 
    heard 
    her speak 
    so 
    free 

    I'd 
    rather 
    the 
    kiss from 

    dead 
    Mattie's 
    lips 

    than you 
    and 
    I, 
    yeah, finally 

    And 
    that 
    Lord 
    Arnold, 
    he 
    jumped 
    up 

    and loudly 
    did 
    he 
    fall 

    He 
    stuck 
    his 
    wife 
    right 
    through 
    the 
    heart 

    and 
    he 
    pinned 
    her up 
    to 
    the wall 

    brave, 
    brave 

    Lord 
    Arnold 

    might 
    put 
    these 
    lovers 
    in 

    But 
    won't 
    you marry 
    my lady 
    at 
    the top? 

    For she 
    was 
    no 
    -go

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
