If you've ever saw the movie songcatcher it's exactly the same, basically because they went up there and collected old ballads. But in case you haven't here are the words. This is all sung with a higher pitch tone at the end, kind of a trademark for old appalachian ballads.

Oh Holy Day oh Holy day
the first one of the year
Little Mattie Groves to church he goes
some holy words to hear, hear, some holy words to hear

He spied some women dressed in black as they came into view
Lord Darnell's wife was gaily plad the flower of the few
few, the flower of the few

She stepped right up to little mattie groves
her eyes cast on the ground
"oh please oh please come with me sir as you pass threw this town, town, as you pass threw this town."

But what is said by little mattie groves
as he sat up in bed
"I fear it is your husbands mad and I will soon be dead
dead, i will soon be dead."

but little mattie groves he laid back down and soon fell off to sleep
when he awoke lord darnell was standing at his bed feet, feet,
standing at his bed feet

Saying,"how do you like my snow white dove," said,"how do you like my sheets, and how do you like my pretty little woman that's a laying in your arms asleep, sleep, laying in your arms asleep."

Well the first swing that little mattie made it hurt lord darnell's sore
the next swing that lord darnell made little mattie hit the floor, floor, little mattie hit the floor

As you can tell, pretty different lol. I did some research and I've come to figure out that alot of those old english ballds that were carried over were "mountanized" and changed to fit the vocabulary and tune of the mountain people, who of course even today are still secluded. It's really interesting to actually research this stuff now, I just saw the movie songcatcher and it got me really interested, since these are my family's old songs and I was amazed to here this version of it on the movie. definatly go check the movie out.
