Act of Accord

overlooking the river calder
it was there one christmas day
that the duke of york and his retinue
at sandal castle they did stay

a legal right to inherit the throne
the house of york had just won
but of this recent act of accord
it set aside the king's young son

with provisions in such short supply
a christmas truce had been agreed
for the duke of york and his retinue
a chance to forage they had seized

a legal right to inherit the throne
the house of york had just won
but of this recent act of accord
it set aside the king's young son

near wakefield after christmas time
down the present day many gates lane
the duke of york and his retinue
were ambushed and then were slain

a legal right to inherit the throne
the house of york had just won
but of this recent act of accord
it set aside the king's young son
