Fairport Convention - Duchess Anne lyrics

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.
