Old London Weeps

[Verse 1]
Cats nine tales, coffin nails
Locket for your sin
Proddie dogs, Papal plots
Bonfires start to sing

[Chorus]
An old London weeps
An old London weeps

[Verse 2]
Weather vanes, the king of Spain
Points to the Cornish coast
A Norfolk home, worships Mary's throne
And drinks a secret toast

[Chorus]
An old London weeps
An old London weeps

[Verse 3]
A faerie king he starts to singe
A poker finds its home
Old firm rules and broken duels
Steel bonnets ride for home

[Chorus]
An old London weeps
An old London weeps

[Verse 4]
Poison pens, an inn by the Thames
A drink for Dr. Dee
Friar's black which the hangman's trap
And falling masonry

[Chorus]
An old London weeps
An old London weeps

[Verse 5]
City square, the bankers stare
Hush, the temple sleeps
Oh, come winter rain, wash away our shame
And listen as old London weeps

[Chorus]
An old London weeps
An old London weeps
An old London weeps
An old London weeps
