Lyrics

0:13Now they lay his

0:16Body down

0:19Sad old men who

0:22Run this town

0:27I still recall the way

0:29He led the charge

0:30And saved the day

0:33Blue blood and rain

0:36I can hear the bugle playin

0:39We seen the last of

0:41Good king richard

0:45Ring out the past

0:47His name lives on

0:51Roll out the bones and

0:54Raise up your pitcher

0:58Raise up your glass

1:00To good king john

1:07While he plundered far and wide

1:13All his starving children cried

1:21And though we sung his fame

1:23We all went hungry

1:24Just the same

1:27He meant to shine

1:30To the end of the line

1:33We seen the last

1:35Of good King Richard

1:39Ring out the past

1:41His name lives on

1:43And on

1:45Roll out the bones

1:48And raise up your pitcher

1:52Raise up your glass

1:54To good King John

2:40And though we sung

2:42His fame we all went

2:43Hungry just the same

2:46He meant to shine

2:49To the end of the line

2:54We seen the last

2:56Of good King Richard

3:00Ring out the past

3:02His name lives on

3:04And on

3:06Roll out the bones

3:08And raise up your pitcher

3:13Raise up your glass

3:15To good King John

3:19Raise up your glass

3:21To good King John

3:25Raise up your glass

3:27To good King John

Now they lay his
Body down
Sad old men who
Run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge
And saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin
We seen the last of
Good king richard
Ring out the past
His name lives on
Roll out the bones and
Raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass
To good king john
While he plundered far and wide
All his starving children cried
And though we sung his fame
We all went hungry
Just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line
We seen the last
Of good King Richard
Ring out the past
His name lives on
And on
Roll out the bones
And raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass
To good King John
And though we sung
His fame we all went
Hungry just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line
We seen the last
Of good King Richard
Ring out the past
His name lives on
And on
Roll out the bones
And raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass
To good King John
Raise up your glass
To good King John
Raise up your glass
To good King John
