House of York

It was at Bosworth Field that a king was slain
Despite it all Lord Stanley felt no shame
The mayor of York he did mourn
For his loyalty to Richard he had sworn

For the death of princes he carries the blame
And their mother she would curse his name
For the Woodvilles he did despise
But was he the victim of Tudor lies

Long gone to his death
Long gone his dying breath
Long gone the house of York
Of treachery there is much talk

How they would mock his crooked spine
Shakespeare too with the passage of time
Buried at Greyfriars church
Now a car park is where she searched

Long gone to his death
Long gone his dying breath
Long gone the house of York
Of treachery there is much talk

Long gone to his death
Long gone his dying breath
Long gone the house of York
Of treachery there is much talk
Of treachery there is much talk
