Rearguard's Lament

Verse 1
Would there were someone To bring me cool water Sweet Adam's ale, From the ford near to hand.
Verse 2
Would there a priest Who could pray me to Heaven And tell me milady Is safely away.
Chorus 1
Fly Lady fly To Castle Caernarvon Where the Welsh archers bide And thy kin still be strong Fly Lady fly For the storm's close upon ye Think well of the laddie Whose life bought ye time
Verse 3
My faithful war stallion Stands o'er me protective To keep away ravens And Saracen thieves
Verse 4
No more to go hunting Or charge into battle The service he renders The last that I need
Chorus 1
Fly Lady fly To Castle Caernarvon Where the Welsh archers bide And thy kin still be strong Fly Lady fly For the storm's close upon ye Think well of the laddie Whose life bought ye time
Verse 5
Would there were someone To bring me cool water Sweet Adam's ale, From the ford near to hand.
