Less Fortunate Than Fair

Less fortunate than fair I'm said to be
But I've given love and love's come to me
I've given love and love's come to me

I'm Cecily daughter of Edward the fourth
Niece to King Richard good lord of the north
No royal crown for my golden head
But to three husbands I have been wed

Less fortunate than fair I'm said to be
But I've given love and love's come to me
I've given love and love's come to me

Wed for the first time I was so young
Ralph was my husband together we clung
But the Tudor usurper wished me otherwise wed
So Ralph was cast out for another instead

Less fortunate than fair I'm said to be
But I've given love and love's come to me
I've given love and love's come to me

Of Henry the seventh let me explain
A victor in battle and my uncle was slain
He made me marry his half uncle John
I didn't mourn long when John passed on

Less fortunate than fair I'm said to be
But I've given love and love's come to me
I've given love and love's come to me

My third is my best a joy to my soul
Oh, how we kiss and now I feel whole
But Tom's a mere squire and King Henry's quite livid
But this choice is mine this time I'm not timid

Less fortunate than fair I'm said to be
But I've given love and love's come to me
I've given love and love's come to me
I gave true love and love's come to me
