Craig Herbertson - Mad Lizzy lyrics

Mad Lizzie she is waiting for the setting of the sun Her mind is on the morrow and the ordeal yet to come twelve times the moon has lit its weary way across the sky Young Lizzie deals the cards upon her thighs See proud Edward ride the borders past the castle of Carlise his mercy and his power and his chains of slaverie Who of your nbole lineage will rule the land o scots thirty thousand says it shall be he And the Hanged Man is laughing in the wind The hanged man is laughing in the wind As women caged by bonds as braid their lovely hair Let fa the bitter tears of black despair Proud Edward calls the dragon flag to fire, blood and wing Rape and murder mercies of the ba*tard king As loyal Wallace falls to the tyrant's bloody hand His body broke and scattered through the land Rise, rise for Scotland Lady Buchan crowns our king Comyn blood traitor curse his name Rise for Scotland or you never shall be free Rise and end the tyrants bloody reign Mad Lizzie she is waiting for the setting of the sun Her mind is on the morrow and the ordeal yet to come Seven years the moon has lit its weary way across the sky Mad Lizzie lays her doun and pleads to die
