Tewkesbury Tale 1471
An old man told me of deeds he had done
Of Tewkesbury field fourteen seventy one
King Edward the Fourth and his brothers too
One Richard of Gloucester his lord that he knew
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He fought by his side
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
A man now despised
It was after Barnet's morning mist
King Edward's army he did dismiss
Then came the news of a queen from France
For the fate of her son she would take a chance
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
A man now despised
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He spoke with pride
Margaret of Anjou she had returned
Of this grave news King Edward had learned
A call to arms in the cousins war
And a frantic march to battle once more
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He spoke with pride
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He fought by his side
The Duke of Somerset close by her side
Queen Margaret of Anjou she did decide
To march from the West into Wales
With Jasper Tudor she might prevail
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He fought by his side
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He fought by his side
At Tewkesbury field the armies engaged
And Edward the fourth unleashed all his rage
Somerset smashed in Lord Wenlock's head
And Margaret's son was killed when he fled
And so ends this tale of Tewkesbury
Where Richard of Gloucester fought so bravely
Of Tewkesbury field fourteen seventy one
King Edward the Fourth and his brothers too
One Richard of Gloucester his lord that he knew
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He fought by his side
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
A man now despised
It was after Barnet's morning mist
King Edward's army he did dismiss
Then came the news of a queen from France
For the fate of her son she would take a chance
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
A man now despised
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He spoke with pride
Margaret of Anjou she had returned
Of this grave news King Edward had learned
A call to arms in the cousins war
And a frantic march to battle once more
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He spoke with pride
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He fought by his side
The Duke of Somerset close by her side
Queen Margaret of Anjou she did decide
To march from the West into Wales
With Jasper Tudor she might prevail
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He fought by his side
To you this tale I will provide
When he spoke of Duke Richard
He fought by his side
At Tewkesbury field the armies engaged
And Edward the fourth unleashed all his rage
Somerset smashed in Lord Wenlock's head
And Margaret's son was killed when he fled
And so ends this tale of Tewkesbury
Where Richard of Gloucester fought so bravely
