With a good sword and a trusty hand A faithful heart and true, King James's men shall understand What Cornish men can do. And have they fixed the where and when? And shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why. Chorus And shall Trelawny live? Or shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why. Out spake the captain brave and bold, A merry wight was he, Though London Tower were Michael's hold We'll set Trelawny free! We'll cross the Tamar, land to land, The Severn is no stay, Then one and all, and hand in hand, And who shall bid us nay. Chorus And when we came to London wall, A pleasant sight to view: Come forth, come forth, ye cowards all! Here are better men than you! Trelawny, he's in keep in hold Trelawny he may die, But twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why. Chorus
