"Oh, it's fine I like your bed
And it's better I like your sheets
But it's best I like the fair young maid
Who lies in my arms asleep, who lies in my arms asleep..."

That's got to be the nerviest comeback of all time by the good Matty Groves. Mind you, a man can afford to be nervy when his imminent and violent death appears to be a virtual certainty! ;-) Still, I have to admire the lad's pluck to come up with those lines, given the situation. One wonders if Lady Arlen was literally "asleep" through the brief verbal exchange between Matty and Lord Arlen...I think probably not. More likely, she was momentarily just at a loss for words.

Joan Baez does a killer version of it on one of her live at Carnegie Hall albums.
