Seventh of August

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
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
