The Lyrics
(Late 1015 – Early 1016)
Oh yes…he’s the great Prince Edmund
He’s fightin’ some guy who’s a brute
Though full of pluck
He will need some luck
His foe is that Dane, King Canute
(April 1016)
Oh heck…now his dad expires
An’ leaves Eddie all of his land
As king, ‘tis rough
Coz the Danes are tough
The hides of the Brits will be tanned
(October 1016)
They fight on some site that is now unknown
Dane might is a fright; Brits are soon put to flight
(October 1016)
(Oh) heck…Eddie’s lost his England
Not laughin’ today: he’s so down
The Danes won’t quit
So his realm is split
In Wessex, he still wears a crown
But, elsewhere, Danelaw will abound
(November 1016)
Surprise, when Ed dies an’ Canute is king
Unwise to despise, for you’ll meet your demise
(1536 - 1541)
(Oh) then…in the reign of Henry
The wealthy ol’ monks make him fume
On them, he’s tough
He destroys their stuff
Some abbeys, an’ graves, go ka-boom
And Edmund’s is one of the tombs
(Of the tombs)
