By Hearsay1483 Lyrics

BY HEARSAY SHE HEARD OF HIS COMING TO TOWN
FOR SHE FEARED LORD GLOUCESTER WOULD STEAL HER SON'S CROWN
THIS THING TO PREVENT EARL RIVRS TRIED
TO AMBUSH AND KILL HIM BEFORE HE ARRIVED
OF TREACHEROUS MEN SHE WOULD QUICKLY NAME
SHE FELT LORD HASTINGS WAS LARGELY TO BLAME
FOR GIVING HIM WARNING OF HER TRUE INTENT
TO COMPLY WITH HER WISHES THEY WERE NOT CONTENT
KING EDWARD HER HUSBAND WAS BURIED AND GONE
IN MOURNING AND SORROW SHE DID NOT LINGER LONG
IN HIS CODICIL THE PROTECTOR HE NAMED
OF HER ANGER AT THIS SHE WAS NOT ASHAMED
BY HEARSAY I'M TOLD THE AMBUSH DID FAIL
EARL RIVERS ARRESTED SO THAT IS THE TALE
TO SANCTUARY SHE DID RUN AND HIDE

HER NEXT PLAN OF ACTION SHE WOULD LATER DECIDE
