king's shilling - swallows and crows lyrics

Loading...

you took the king’s shilling
and you signed the line
you took the king’s shilling
and you, oh you signed the line

you followed your feet
and now how you’re not here no more
you followed your feet
and now they marched you off to war

they promised you riches
and they promised you much wealth
they promised a full belly
and a full bill of health

they took advantage of you
because you were so poor
so you took the shilling
and they marched you off to war

they gave you a uniform
and they, oh they gave you a gun
told you to tow the line
and that you would never run

so you stood your ground
fighting hard against your fear
had you know what was to come
would you ever have volunteered?
where are those riches
and when do you see your wealth?
they asked for everything
and you sacrificed yourself

oh brother why’d you take the silver from the crown?
the king’s shilling means you’re buried in the ground
