Little Matthy Groves- Sung by Mrs. Emily Snipes, Marion N.C., September 5, 1918.
Little Matthy Groves was going to church
On the very first day of the year;
Little Matthy Groves was going to church
The Holy Word to hear, hear,
The Holy Word to hear.
The first came down was a fair lady,
The next looked like St. Paul,
The next came down Lord Daniel's wife,
The fairest of them all.
