Trelawny
A good sword and a trusty hand
A merry heart and true
King James' men will understand
What Cornishmen can do
Have they fixed the where and when?
Shall Trelawny die?
Well here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
Shall Trelawny live,
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
Up spake our captain, brave and bold,
A merry wight was he,
"If London tower were Michael's hold,
We'd set Trelawny free.
We've crossed the Tamar land to land,
The Severn is no stay,
And one and all, and hand-in-hand,
Who shall bid us nay?"
Shall Trelawny live,
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
And when we get to London town,
That pleasant sight to view,
Come forth, come forth, ye cowards all,
Here's better men than you!
Trelawny, he's in keep and hold,
Trelawny, he may die,
But here's twenty-thousand Cornish bold
Who'd know the reason why
Shall Trelawny live,
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
A merry heart and true
King James' men will understand
What Cornishmen can do
Have they fixed the where and when?
Shall Trelawny die?
Well here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
Shall Trelawny live,
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
Up spake our captain, brave and bold,
A merry wight was he,
"If London tower were Michael's hold,
We'd set Trelawny free.
We've crossed the Tamar land to land,
The Severn is no stay,
And one and all, and hand-in-hand,
Who shall bid us nay?"
Shall Trelawny live,
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
And when we get to London town,
That pleasant sight to view,
Come forth, come forth, ye cowards all,
Here's better men than you!
Trelawny, he's in keep and hold,
Trelawny, he may die,
But here's twenty-thousand Cornish bold
Who'd know the reason why
Shall Trelawny live,
Or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen
Who'd know the reason why
