Some Tyrant - Kate Rusby

Some Tyrant - Kate Rusby
Some tyrant has stolen my true love away
And here in old England I can no longer stay
I'll 'cross the wide ocean all on my bed rest
In search of my true love that I love the best
When that I've found out my joy and my delight
I will welcome her kindly by day and by night
Here's a health to all others that are loyal and just
Here's confusion to the rivals that lives in distrust
There's venus and volum they are both joined as one
So I'll keep yourselves single as you and I have done
No you keep yourselves single and constant I'll retire
Unto her like some venus that flourishes like fire
The bugle shall speak
Serpent shall sing
There'll be instruments of music for to make the valleys ring
Oh the huntsman he'll holler and the hounds make their noise
For to fill my love's heart with ten thousand bright joys
Some tyrant has stolen my true love away
And here in old England I can no longer stay
I'll 'cross this wide ocean on my bed rest
In search of my true love that I love the best
All
I know not where I'll find
The one I love the best
