Arranged by Heather Dale - Trelawny lyrics

A good sword and a trusty hand A merry heart and true King James' men shall understand what Cornish men can do Have they fixed the where and when? Shall Trelawny die? Well, here's twenty thousand Cornish men who'd know the reason why CHORUS: And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men who'd know the reason why Up spake our Captain, brave and bold A merry wight was he “If London tower were Michael's hold We'd set Trelawny free! We've crossed the Tamar, land to land The Severn is no stay And one and all, and hand in hand Who shall bid us nay?” CHORUS: And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men who'd know the reason why And when we get to London Wall That pleasant sight to view Come forth! Come forth, ye cowards all! Here's better men than you! Trelawny he's in keep and hold Trelawny he may die But here's twenty thousand Cornish bold who'd know the reason why CHORUS: And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men who'd know the reason why!
