Mad Lizzy Lyrics - A Health To The Ladies - Craig Herbertson

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 bastard 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
