Lord DArlen's wife came into the church,
The gospel for to hear.

And there she saw little Matty Groves, walking in the crowd
"But if I am Lord Arlen 's wife, Lord Arlen's not at home
He is out in the far cornfields bringing the yearlings home"

And a servant who was standing by and hearing what was said
He swore Lord Arlen he would know before the sun would set

Little Matty Groves, he lay down and took a little sleep
When he awoke, Lord Arlen was standing at his feet
"Well, get up, get up," Lord Arlen cried, "get up as quick as you can

So Matty struck the very first blow and he hurt Lord Arlen sore
Lord Arlen struck the very next blow and Matty struck no more
And then Lord Arlen took his wife and he sat her on his knee

Lord Arlen he jumped up and loudly he did bawl
"A grave, a grave," Lord Arlen cried, "to put these lovers in
