Fairport Convention - Duchess Anne
I swear allegiance, my friend,
To your people and your realm
And to your daughter, fair maiden Anne.
She is betrothed to my son
When the marriage vows are done
Then our two countries shall be bound as one.
Duchess Anne with courage and with faith in God
La Bretagne will be saved.
Do not fear, the battle shall be won
We will fight them, we will crush them to the ground.
A thousand soldiers come to the borders of your land
To free your country from the King of France
The devil be this King who would bring us to our knees
For gain, for power and in greed.
Duchess Anne with courage and with faith in God
La Bretagne will be saved.
Do not fear, the battle shall be won
We will fight them, we will crush them to the ground.
Together we must stand to defy the King of France
Yet again his army marches on your land
With treachery and lies he endeavours,
He strives to sow dissension,
Our allies to divide.
Duchess Anne with courage and with faith in God
La Bretagne will be saved.
Do not fear, the battle shall be won
We will fight them, we will crush them to the ground.
War cannot be stayed but with courage and with faith in God
La Bretagne shall be saved.
