They (The Lords)
They say he did steal wine from the lords
They say he did steal deer from the wood
They say he did kill the rabbit as it run
But only I know he did only good
But only I know he did only good
They came in the night and took him from his bed
They locked him away for why was not said
They locked him away for a very long time
They said we could not see him anymore
They said we could not see him anymore
They said they would hang him for poaching
They said they would hang him for feeding his children
They said they would hang him on the fifth morning
So we would not see him anymore
So we would not see him anymore
They took my son to fight in the army
They took my son to fight for the cause
They took all my men away to the wars
They killed all my men for the lords
They killed all my men for the lords.

Thank you for your kind words. The question of whether I can sing is for others to answer surely ?
