Roger Waters - The Execution of Louis Capet lyrics

Scene 3 "The Execution of Louis Capet" RINGMASTER In the spring of '92 The Austrians and the Prussians too Crossed the line The war had come The people went to see the King Reluctantly he let them in RINGMASTER & CHORUS And over tea they said that He must choose one hat RINGMASTER A crown in Koblenz with his friends Or if he chose to make amends He might adopt CHORUS He might adopt RINGMASTER & CHORUS Their scarlet bonnet RINGMASTER Surprise, surprise, when left to choose Too late, he chose "The Bonnet Rouge"
