The Lord Protector Lyrics

EDWARD THE FOURTH LAY DYING
ON HIS DEATH BED THEY GATHERED ROUND
AND HE NAMED THE LORD PROTECTOR
WHO HE HOPED WOULD SEE HIS SON CROWNED
HE DID NAME THE LORD PROTECTOR
IN WHOM THE QUEEN SHE HAD NO FAITH
SHE FEARED THE DUKE OF GLOUCESTER
WOULD NOT KEEP HER TWO BOYS SAFE
AND SO HISTORY IS WRITTEN
AND PRINCE EDWARD WAS NEVER CROWNED
AND RICHARD A MAN OF HONOUR
IN A SEA OF TREASON WAS DROWNED
HE DID NAME THE LORD PROTECTOR
IN WHOM THE QUEEN SHE HAD NO FAITH
SHE FEARED THE DUKE OF GLOUCESTER

WOULD NOT KEEP HER TWO BOYS SAFE
EDWARD THE FOURTH LAY DYING
ON HIS DEATH BED THEY GATHERED ROUND
AND HE NAMED THE LORD PROTECTOR
WHO HE HOPED WOULD SEE HIS SON CROWNED
HE DID NAME THE LORD PROTECTOR
IN WHOM THE QUEEN SHE HAD NO FAITH
SHE FEARED THE DUKE OF GLOUCESTER
WOULD NOT KEEP HER TWO BOYS SAFE
SHE FEARED THE DUKE OF GLOUCESTER
WOULD NOT KEEP HER TWO BOYS SAFE
