Lyrics
Here's a letter to you, madam
Here's a letter to you, madam
Here's a letter from the Isle of the Whigs
And all in suit of you, madam
Say not so to me, Richard
Say not so to me, Richard
For I made a vow and I'll keep it true
To marry none but you, Richard
Say not so to me, madam
Say not so to me, madam
For I have neither lands nor rags
For to maintain you with, madam
I am going away, madam
I am going from here, madam
I'm going away, so far away
I'm going across the sea, madam
Then I will go with you, Richard
I will go with you, Richard
I'll go with you to London town
I'm going away with you, Richard
When they went down through London town
Oh but the bells they were ringing golly
And many a knight and many a squire
Stood there to welcome Richard's lady
So dearly as you loved me, madam
So dearly as you loved me, madam
You left your lands and all your rags
Your serving boy to go with, madam
For since it's so I love you, madam
Since it's so I love you, madam
I left the sceptre and the throne
And was your serving man, madam
And was your waiting man, madam
Made all your bridals ring, madam
And little did you think that your waiting man
Was England's royal king, madam
But since it's so you loved me, madam
Since it's so I love you, madam
You shall be the Queen of all England
And happy shall you be, madam
