Two Thousand Marks
Aged fourteen he was given a bride
In the church in Pembridge, Joan by his side
His wife was an heiress to half of Ludlow
But to Piers Gaverston a fine he would owe
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Was the fine he paid of that I am sure
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Not one farthing less of that I am sure
He was just seventeen when his father died
Because of a wardship it was justified
To pay the favourite of the king's son
Piers Gaverston was that favoured one
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Was the fine he paid of that I am sure
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Not one farthing less of that I am sure
Despite this fine his wealth it did grow
A knighthood upon him the king did bestow
Then to parliament he was called
The death of the old king, a new one installed
Remembering when he was given a bride
In the church in Pembridge Joan by his side
His wife was an heiress to half of Ludlow
But to Piers Gaverston a fine he would owe
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Was the fine he paid of that I am sure
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Not one farthing less of that I am sure
Not one farthing less of that I am sure
In the church in Pembridge, Joan by his side
His wife was an heiress to half of Ludlow
But to Piers Gaverston a fine he would owe
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Was the fine he paid of that I am sure
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Not one farthing less of that I am sure
He was just seventeen when his father died
Because of a wardship it was justified
To pay the favourite of the king's son
Piers Gaverston was that favoured one
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Was the fine he paid of that I am sure
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Not one farthing less of that I am sure
Despite this fine his wealth it did grow
A knighthood upon him the king did bestow
Then to parliament he was called
The death of the old king, a new one installed
Remembering when he was given a bride
In the church in Pembridge Joan by his side
His wife was an heiress to half of Ludlow
But to Piers Gaverston a fine he would owe
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Was the fine he paid of that I am sure
Two thousand marks and five hundred more
Not one farthing less of that I am sure
Not one farthing less of that I am sure
