I have seen the ghost of old King Richard |
|
Walking through the hall as if he were alive |
|
And with such an air of pain and sorrow |
|
Trying to get back to the other side |
|
I have heard the tale of when King Richard |
|
Was granted a relic of the Holy Cross |
|
But from him 'twas stolen when in prison |
|
Now he's greaving for the loss |
|
Oh a lack a day |
|
May good fortune come his way |
|
Oh a lack a lee |
|
May his spirit rest in peace |
|
I have seen the sword of old King Richard |
|
Hanging with a scabbard at the fireside |
|
Such a mighty blade of Spanish silver |
|
Keen and flashing in the firelight |
|
I have read the words of old King Richard |
|
Standing at the walls of Jerusalem |
|
When he raised his voice to exhort his people |
|
Ready for the battle with the Saracen |
|
Oh a lack a day |
|
May good fortune come his way |
|
Oh a lack a lee |
|
May his spirit rest in peace |
|
Oh a lack a day |
|
May good fortune come his way |
|
Oh a lack a lee |
|
May his spirit rest in peace |
|
I have seen the ghost of old King Richard |
|
Walking through the hall as if he were alive |
