A good sword and a trusty hand, a merry heart and true King James' men shall understand what Cornish lads can do And how they fix the where and when, and shall Trelawney die His twenty thousand Cornish men will know the reason why
And shall Trelawney live or shall Trelawney die His twenty thousand Cornish men will know the reason why
How spake the captain brave and bold, a merry white was he If London Tower Michael's hold will set Trelawney free We'll cross the Tamerland to land the Severn is no stay With one and all and hand in hand, and who shall bid us neigh
And shall Trelawney live or shall Trelawney die His twenty thousand Cornish men will know the reason why
And when we come to London's wall, a pleasant sight to view Come forth, come forth, ye cowards, all his men as good as you Trelawney he's in keep and old Trelawney he may die His twenty thousand Cornish bold will know the reason why
And shall Trelawney live or shall Trelawney die His twenty thousand Cornish men will know the reason why
