The Wicked Lady

Her name was young Katherine a very fine girl
Heir to her grandfather’s fortune
A friend of the king she wore diamonds and pearls
But soon fell to misfortune
Her parents both died, the king lost the war
At 14 our lady a bride
To a lord who disposed of her wealth without care
A penniless rogue she’d abide
I shall not be left without diamonds or pearls
I shall not be left here to wither
While my husband’s away I will roam the highway
With a pistol and sword of silver
When Thomas, her husband, he set out
Katherine she donned his best raiment
With her pistol and sword she turned herself about
And roaming the highway she went
She’d not long been roving ‘til she spied her first prize
A nobleman clad in fine silver
She pulled out her pistol and stared into his eyes
Cried “Sir, stand and deliver!”
Give me all you carry and you shall go free
For know that I am no killer
But if you are not true I will murder you
With a pistol and sword of silver
A fine highwayman our lady she made
Successful in every venture
No farmer nor lawman were safe from her blade
For her ‘twas a wicked adventure
Ralph Chaplin became her partner in crime
Together they robbed without shame
‘Til one night whilst still both their prime
They met their match on the plain
The lawman he cried, raise your hands to the sky
Brigands! Stand and deliver!
Surrender to me or I will kill thee
With a pistol and sword of silver
...So Katherine drew her sword and they fought...
Lawman! She cried, I’ll deliver you nought
And turned for to flee from the victor
But as she turned around, he shot her down
And Katherine fell to the ground…
As she lay there dying she cursed her young rogue
Who’d left her to rob in the wild
And with her last breath she said unto The Lord
You have killed me and my unborn child

Verse 1
As I walked out one summer's morning,
To view the fields and take the air,
Down by the banks of sweet primroses,
There I beheld a lady fair.
Verse 2
Three long steps I took up to her,
Not knowing her as she passed me by;
I stepped up to her thinking to view her,
She was just like some virtuous bride.
Verse 3
Tell me fair maiden, where are you going?
What's the occasion of all your grief?
I'll make you as happy as any lady,
If you will grant me some small relief."
Verse 4
"Stand off, stand off, you are deceitful!
You are a false deluding swain!
For it's you that's caused my heart to wander,
To give me comfort is all in vain.
Verse 5
I will go down to some lonesome valley,
No man on earth shall there me find,
Where pretty small birds change their voices,
And every moment there blows a blusterous wind."
Verse 6
So come all you young maids that go a-courting,
And give attention to what I say,
For there's many a dark, cloudy morning,
Turns out to be a sunshiny day.
Yes there's many a dark, cloudy morning,
Turns out to be a sunshiny day.

Clockwork Lens

I am a solitary soldier
The night owl of the day
A beacon burning bright
To keep my love away
I am a lonely child
Looking through a clockwork lens
Gaze lost on the horizon
Searching for a long lost friend
She is a restless mother (cares for all)
With many a hand to lend (take my hand)
She keeps my cogs turning (rest a while)
Burning the candle at both ends
I am a stone brick house (obstinate fool)
Crumbling on a wind-lashed hill (standing tall)
Stubborn pride keeps me standing (I----)
And forever will (...will never fall)
Waves may crash, winds may roar
But I will stand here as before
A stubborn rock, a flickering light
To watch you closely through the night
I am a solitary soldier
The night owl of the day
A beacon burning bright
To keep my love away
(Waves Crash, Winds roar
But I will stand here as before)
