Rebel Bones
Tim Lane
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
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
