about

Inspired by Winter King - The Dawn Of Tudor England, by Thomas Penn

lyrics

Warbeck and Warwick were two young men
Who were told they had claims
To the throne of England
But Henry the 7th, well he’d have none of this
He locked them in the tower
And was done with it
They may as well, have been dead
They may, as well have, been dead
But then some time later
Someone planned an escape
And Henry the 7th, well he was enraged
He’d have none of this, he’d have none of this
And he chopped of their heads
And was done with it
They were dead,
They were dead
Poor Warbeck and Warwick
Two unfortunate men
Who thought they had claims
To the throne of England
Tortured and punished for their attempts
Used by some many, for their own ends
They were better off dead
They were better off dead
Poor Warwick and Warbeck
