|
Now they lay his body down |
|
Sad old men who run this town |
|
I still recall the way |
|
He led the charge and saved the day |
|
Blue blood and rain |
|
I can hear the bugle playin' |
|
CHORUS: |
|
We seen the last of Good King Richard |
|
Ring out the past his name lives on |
|
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher |
|
Raise up your glass to Good King John |
|
While he plundered far and wide |
|
All his starving children cried |
|
And though we sung his fame |
|
We all went hungry just the same |
|
He meant to shine |
|
To the end of the line |
|
CHORUS |
