queen eleanor’s confession - fay hield lyrics

Loading...

queen eleanor was a sick woman sick just like to die
and she has called for two friars of france to come to her speedily
the king called down his n0bles all an angry man was he
earl marshal i’ll go shrive the queen and you will come with me

a boon, a boon said earl marshall and fell on bended knee
for if the queen shall hear of this then hanged i shall be
i swear by the sun, i swear by the moon and by the stars so high
that by my scepter and my crown earl marshal shall not die

the king’s put on a grey friar’s gown earl marshall’s donned another
and they’re away to fair london town like friar’s both together
and when they came to london town, and came down through whitehall
the bells did ring and the choirs sing and the torches did light them all

and when they came before the queen they fell on bended knee
what matter, what matter our gracious queen, you sent so speedily
oh if you are two friars of france it’s you i wish to see
but if you are two english lords you’ll hang on the gallows tree

the very first sin i did commit i will now tell to thee
i fell in love with the earl marshal as he brought me over the sea
oh that was a vile sin said the king but pardoned it may be
amen, amen said the earl marshal with a heavy heart spoke he

oh the next vile sin i did commit i will to you unfold
earl marshal had my maidenhead beneath this gown of gold
oh that was a vile sin said the king may god forgive it thee
amen, amen said the earl marshal and a frightened man was he

oh don’t you see those two little boys a-playing at the ball
the eldest is earl marshal’s son and i like him the best of all
oh don’t you see that other little boy a-playing at the ball
oh that one is king henry’s son and i like him the worst of all

his head is like a black boar’s head his feet are like a bear
what matter, what matter cried the king he’s my son and my only heir
the king pulled off his grey friar’s gown and stood in his scarlet red
queen eleanor turned in her bed and cried she was betrayed
the king looked o’er his left shoulder and a grim look looked he
if i hadn’t sworn on my scepter and crown you’d hang in the gallows tree
