Like the rumour of a thought not quite remembered
The echo of a whisper on the wind
Or a unfamiliar melody
Which stirs a distant memory
Of something that your mother used to sing

A tale as true as iron
True as earth upon the plough
Blew upon the embers of a dream

My folk have worked these fields for generations
Tenant farmers living off the land
The greedy landlord cast us out so he can graze more sheep
Such villainy cannot be left to stand

The common folk of Norfolk, true as earth upon the plough
Fighting for the right to live where are the rebels now?
The gentry thrive while poor folk starve the same old sorry tale
And rebel bones lie lost in Dussindale

A thousand campfires burning on the heathland
Soldiers marching through the city gates
For fifty days we waited there for justice
But here's a tale which always ends the same
The landed lords and gentry serve their own well-being first
It's no surprise that justice never came

The common folk of Norfolk, true as earth upon the plough
Fighting for the right to live where are the rebels now?
The gentry thrive while poor folk starve the same old sorry tale
And rebel bones lie lost in Dussindale

Three thousand rebels died in that last battle
In County Hall the gentry sit today
But I hear a song of justice
True as earth upon the plough
Sung by the slaughtered ghosts of Dussindale

The common folk of Norfolk, true as earth upon the plough
Fighting for the right to live where are the rebels now
The gentry thrive while poor folk starve the same old sorry tale
And rebel bones lie lost 
rebel bones lie lost
Rebel bones lie lost in Dussindale
