LOOK AT JOHN WITH HIS CULVERIN
FOR HIS SERVICE PLEASE PAY HIM
SULPHUR AND SALTPETRE MIXED AS ONE
SMOKE AND FIRE FROM HIS GUN
REMEMBER JOHN AND HIS SERPENTINE
THAT MIGHTY CANNON LOOKED SO FINE
NEAR ST ALBANS I'VE HEARD IT SAID
HE WAS LISTED AMONGST THE DEAD
TAKE HIS BODY, TAKE HIM AWAY
AND BURY HIS BODY QUICKLY TODAY
LOOK AT JOHN WITH HIS CULVERIN
FOR HIS CANNON THEY PAID HIM
SULPHUR AND SALTPETRE MIXED AS ONE
SMOKE AND FIRE BENEATH THE SETTING SUN
TAKE HIS BODY, TAKE HIM AWAY
AND FOR HIS SOUL WE WILL PRAY

FOR HIRE WE ARE IN THIS LAND
AND OUR HEDGE KNIGHT HE DOES COMMAND
OF ARCHERY A FINE DISPLAY
YES WE WILL SHOW THROUGHOUT THE DAY
OUR CAMP SITE YOU MAY LOOK AROUND

HAND CRAFTED WITH ALL SKILL AND CARE
OUR MASTER SCRIBE WRITES OVER THERE
DIVERS ARCHERS, MEN AT ARMS
FOR ADVENTURE LEFT THEIR FARMS
SEE THAT LORD HE LOOKS SO HANDSOME
WILL HIS FAMILY PAY THE RANSOM
MERCENARIES ONE AND ALL
WARS OF THE ROSES WE RECALL
OUR LANDLESS KNIGHT HE LEADS US WELL
AS DAYLIGHT FADES WE BID FAREWELL

I SHALL SPEAK OF THE OLD CENTURY
OF MY LIEGE LORD I WILL SPEAK KINDLY
FRANCIS CRANLEY IS MY NAME
OF MY YOUTH YOU DO REMIND ME
TO MIDDLEHAM CASTLE A STRANGER CAME
AND FIELDING WAS HIS NAME
OF A MURDER HE DID STAND ACCUSED
OF HIS INNOCENCE HE DID CLAIM
I SHALL SPEAK OF THE OLD CENTURY
OF THE LIFE THAT IS BEHIND ME
FRANCIS CRANLEY IS MY NAME
WITH MY MEMORIES YOU DO FIND ME
FOR PLAINCOURT MANOR I DID RIDE
TO HELP KIND GLOUCESTER'S FRIEND
TO FIND THE TRUTH OF GEOFREY'S DEATH
MY ASSISTANCE I MIGHT LEND
I SHALL SPEAK OF THE OLD CENTURY
OF THE WOODVILLES I DON'T SPEAK KINDLY
FRANCIS CRANLEY IS MY NAME
IN MY OLD AGE YOU DO FIND ME
LORD RIVERS SO NOBLE BUT EVIL AS WELL
WITH HIS LOVER STEPHEN PLAINCOURT
MISTRESS BLANCHE THEY DID USE
WITH A PROMISE SHE WAS BOUGHT
I SHALL SPEAK OF THE OLD CENTURY
OF FIELDING I DO SPEAK KINDLY
FRANCIS CRANLEY IS MY NAME
IN SADNESS YOU DO FIND ME
TO MIDDLEHAM CASTLE I DID RETURN
IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS DAY
THEN WITH MATTHEW BY MY SIDE
TO YORK WHERE I DID PRAY
I SHALL SPEAK OF THE OLD CENTURY
OF MY LIEGE LORD I WILL SPEAK KINDLY
FRANCIS CRANLEY IS MY NAME
IN MY OLD AGE YOU DO FIND ME
FRANCIS CRANLEY IS MY NAME
WITH MY MEMORIES YOU DO FIND ME

Dearly beloved I greet you this day
So much has happened in the month of May
The stench from the street assaults my nose
How I do long for the scent of a rose
The news of the queen is very disturbing
Remaining in sanctuary so we are learning
The date of the coronation is set
One Sunday in June it's not happened yet
Dearly beloved I greet you good day
So much has happened since the month of May
Of true honesty there's nought to be had
And the stench from the Thames it is terribly bad
The news of Lord Hastings is very disturbing
Of his execution this we are learning
The date of the coronation draws near
Of its cancellation I really do fear
How is the manor where I was raised
Oh how I long for those childhood days
Moving to London I do regret
The fresh air in the country, oh I might forget
Dearly beloved I greet you good day
So much has happened since the month of May
The heat of the summer it feels like a curse
The stench of this town it gets worse and worse
The news in the street is very disturbing
About two lost princes this we are learning
The date of the coronation was changed
And the Lord Protector the throne he has claimed

LANDFALL AT MILL BAY ON ST ANNE'S HEAD
AN AUGUST SUNSET FILLED WITH DREAD
RETURNING TO CLAIM THE THRONE
LEAVING THE EXILE HE HAD KNOWN
A FIERY RED DRAGON ON GREEN AND WHITE
AND A BANNER OF ST GEORGE UNDER WHICH THEY'D FIGHT
THE SEVENTH OF AUGUST FOURTEEN EIGHTY FIVE
FRENCH MERCENARIES BY HIS SIDE
FROM FRANCE THIRTY SHIPS HAD SET SAIL
NOW OUT OF SIGHT FROM THE VILLAGE OF DALE
RETURNING TO CLAIM THE THRONE
LEAVING THE EXILE HE HAD KNOWN
A FIERY RED DRAGON ON GREEN AND WHITE
AND A BANNER OF ST GEORGE UNDER WHICH THEY'D FIGHT
THE SEVENTH OF AUGUST FOURTEEN EIGHTY FIVE
FRENCH MERCENARIES BY HIS SIDE
KNEELING DOWN TO KISS THE EARTH
A FEW MILES WEST OF HIS PLACE OF BIRTH
RETURNING TO CLAIM THE THRONE
LEAVING THE EXILE HE HAD KNOWN
A FIERY RED DRAGON ON GREEN AND WHITE
AND A BANNER OF ST GEORGE UNDER WHICH THEY'D FIGHT
THE SEVENTH OF AUGUST FOURTEEN EIGHTY FIVE
FRENCH MERCENARIES BY HIS SIDE

WAS HE REALLY LAMBERT SIMNEL
A MERE PRETENDER TO THE THRONE
A YORKIST PRINCE IT HAS BEEN CLAIMED
AND THE TRUTH IT IS STILL NOT KNOWN
HE WAS CROWNED IN DUBLIN CITY
WITH TUDOR TALES CONFUSION REIGNED
EDWARD, LAMBERT AND YOUNG RICHARD
ARE THOSE HE HAS BEEN NAMED
WHO WAS THE DUBLIN KING
THE DUBLIN KING TO PROCLAIM
WHO WAS THE DUBLIN KING
WHAT WAS HIS REAL NAME
SO LINCOLN LED HIS REBEL ARMY
ACROSS TO THE ENGLISH SHORE
LORD LOVELL ANNOUNCING THAT
THE TRUE KING THEY WOULD RESTORE
AT STOKE THERE WAS WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER
THE DUBLIN KING PERISHED THERE
TO THEN LIVE ON AS LAMBERT SIMNEL
A NAME THAT CAME FROM NOWHERE
WHO WAS THE DUBLIN KING
THE DUBLIN KING TO PROCLAIM
WHO WAS THE DUBLIN KING
WHAT WAS HIS REAL NAME

OH WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN
SHE WILL WELCOME THE KING OF SIN
HIS HONOUR GONE HE COULD NOT WIN
SHE WILL WELCOME THE KING OF SIN
HE REACHES OUT FROM THE GRAVE
SHE WILL TREMBLE AS HE WAS SO BRAVE
FROM THE DEEPEST DEPTHS AND A STARLESS NIGHT
TO HER HE IS A SHINING KNIGHT
TO FEEL HIS PRESENCE, WELL ALMOST
SHE WILL WELCOME THIS KNIGHT A GHOST
HE IS THE ONE SHE LOVES THE MOST
SHE WILL WELCOME THIS KNIGHT A GHOST
HE REACHES OUT FROM THE GRAVE
SHE WILL TREMBLE AS HE WAS SO BRAVE
FROM THE DEEPEST DEPTHS AND A STARLESS NIGHT
TO HER HE IS A SHINING KNIGHT
OH TO TOUCH HIS RAVEN HAIR
SHE'LL LOSE HERSELF IN DESPAIR
SO MUCH STRONGER THAN SHE'LL EVER BE
IN EVERY DREAM IT'S HIM SHE'LL SEE

BLIND JOHNPLAYS THE SACKBUT
NO SIGHT SINCE HIS BIRTH
HE SEES THE MUSIC IN HIS HEAD
THE NOTES ARE FILLED WITH MIRTH
IN THE COURT OF KING RICHARD THE THIRD
THE LOVELIEST MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD
A CHOIR LIKE A HOST OF ANGELS
SING IN HARMONY FOR THE GUEST
A KNIGHT FROM FAR SILESIA
ANOTHER SONG HE DOES REQUEST
IN THE COURT OF KING RICHARD THE THIRD
THE LOVELIEST MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD
IN THE SHADOWS THERE IS TREASON
LORD STANLEY TAKES HIS LEAVE
A MESSAGE FOR THE LADY MARGARET
FROM HER SON SHE WILL RECEIVE
IN THE COURT OF KING RICHARD THE THIRD
IN THE COURT OF KING RICHARD THE THIRD
IN THE COURT OF KING RICHARD THE THIRD
