Gold Angels Lyrics

IT WAS CHRISTMAS DAY IN LONDON TOWN
SNOW COVERED THE FILTH IN THE STREET
THERE WAS ICE ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER THAMES
THE DUKE HIS BARGE HE DID SEEK
HERE'S A GOLD ANGEL FOR CHRISTMAS DAY
RICHARD HANDED HIS BARGEMAN THE GIFT
NOW STEER ME TO WESTMINSTER THANK YOU SIR
FOR YOUR SERVICE NOW LET'S BE SWIFT
THE DUKE'S BARGE ON THE RIVER THAMES
STEERED TO THE ROYAL COURT
DEPARTING FROM BAYNARD'S CASTLE
RICHARD GLOUCESTER DEEP IN THOUGHT
THE LORD OF MISRULE WAS DANCING
THE DUKE OF GLOUCESTER DID KNEEL
TO THE QUEEN ELIZABETH WOODVILLE

TRUE FEELINGS THEY WERE CONCEALED
AND THE LORD OF MISRULE KEPT DANCING
THE DUKE HE DID CONCEAL
IN HIS PURSE HE HAD GOLD ANGELS
FOR GIFTS HE WOULD LATER REVEAL
