One Evening in Northwood Lyrics
A warm summer's night in Northwood
It was nineteen twenty four
Talk over drinks turned to history
And King Richard of the white boar
For he was sorely mistreated
Was that what he heard them say
Enthralled by their conversation
During the evening that day
Later that evening in Northwood
It was nineteen twenty four
One thing led to another
And the fellowship of the white boar
For he was sorely mistreated
Was that what he heard them say
Enthralled by their conversation
During the evening that day
So many believe old hearsay
And do not require proof
A few may not believe in this
And they will search for the truth
A warm summer’s night in Northwood
It was nineteen twenty four
Talk over drinks turned to history
And King Richard of the white boar
Talk over drinks turned to history
And King Richard of the white boar
King Richard of the white boar
It was nineteen twenty four
Talk over drinks turned to history
And King Richard of the white boar
Was that what he heard them say
Enthralled by their conversation
During the evening that day
It was nineteen twenty four
One thing led to another
And the fellowship of the white boar
Was that what he heard them say
Enthralled by their conversation
During the evening that day
And do not require proof
A few may not believe in this
And they will search for the truth
It was nineteen twenty four
Talk over drinks turned to history
And King Richard of the white boar
Talk over drinks turned to history
And King Richard of the white boar
King Richard of the white boar
