Road to Sedgemoor Songtext

von Amazing Blondel

Captain General, Rebel Chief
Monmouths's mercenaries
On the road to Sedgemoor and defeat.

Son of King and Paramour
Exiled to fight afor William
Denied a Crown twas coverted, as his.

Here's a lad
That's Royally descended
With every Virtue clad,
By every tongue commended.
A true and faithful English heart.
Britains joy and hope.

Companions land at Port O'Lyme.
Attracks wild throngs who cry
"The Duke has come"
"King Charles son"
A - Monmouth
A - Monmouth

Brother James learns of revolt,
Beckons' Come Lord Churchill
Off Dorset with Grenadiers and Guards'

Sedgemoor Bloody Battleground
All Kings horse and cannon.
Rebels flee
Leaving coutless weeping.
Damned Monmouth, Damned Prisoner
Without friend or Ally,
Soon to step through Traitors Gate for Slaughter.

Here's a lad tho' Royally descended with every Virtue clad,
By every tongue commended.
A true and faithful English heart.
Britains joy and hope.

Captain General, Rebel Chief
Monmouths's mercenaries
On the road to Sedgemoor and defeat.
