Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A good sword and a trusty hand
A merry heart and true
King James' men shall understand
What Cornish lads can do
[Verse 2]
And how they fixed the where and when
And shall Trelawny die
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why
[Verse 3]
And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why
[Verse 4]
Up spake out Captain, brave and bold
A merry wight was he
If London tower, Michael's hold
We'd set Trelawny free
[Verse 5]
Will cross the Tamar, land to land
The Severn is no stay
With one and all and hand in hand
And who shall bid us nay?
[Verse 6]
And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why
[Verse 7]
And when we come to London's wall
The pleasant sight to view
Come forth, come forth, you cowards all
Here's men as good as you
[Verse 8]
Tralawny, he's in keep and hold
Trelawny he may die
Here's twenty thousand Cornish bold
Will know the reason why
[Verse 9]
And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why
