Yorkist Archer Remix Lyrics
My grandfather he was an archer
For Edward the Fourth he did fight
In the snow in a battle called Towton
He spoke of many arrows in flight
My father he too was an archer
In the army of Richard the Third
Both died at the battle of Bosworth
Fighting bravely so I have heard
And me I too am an archer
With my bow I was at Flodden field
And though in my heart I'm a Yorkist
For the Tudors I have surely killed
For the Tudors I have surely killed
For Edward the Fourth he did fight
In the snow in a battle called Towton
He spoke of many arrows in flight
In the army of Richard the Third
Both died at the battle of Bosworth
Fighting bravely so I have heard
With my bow I was at Flodden field
And though in my heart I'm a Yorkist
For the Tudors I have surely killed
For the Tudors I have surely killed
