The King
from the singing of Steeleye Span

This song was re-recorded, remixed and/or remastered on DAT in 1991.

lyrics

Joy, health, love, and peace be all here in this place
By your leave, we will sing concerning our king

Our king is well dressed, in silks of the best
In ribbons so rare, no king can compare

We have travelled many miles, over hedges and stiles
In search of our king, and to you we bring

We have powder and shot to conquer the lot
we have cannon and ball to conquer them all

Old Christmas is past, twelve tide is the last
And we bid you adieu, great joy to the new
