Gold Angels

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
