The Crown of London

[Verse 1]
Oh, the crown of London
She's cruel and heartless
Sent me far from home
And threw me to the tumbling ocean

[Verse 2]
When I was a boy
It was a mighty fortress
A preacher tall against the mountain
Trumpets and the psalms and the crown of snow

[Verse 3]
All you Covenanters
Singing for your martyrs
All your tongues [?]
Burning through the fields and the valleys

[Chorus]
Shackled be my hands
[?] I may be
The devil's made plans for the wealthy man
He'll never get to me
Never get to me

[Verse 4]
Oh, the muskets thunder
The ringing claymore
Bloody Clavers' soldiers
Standing by the kirkyard gates, oh

[Verse 5]
The crown of London
She's cruel and she's heartless
Sent me far from home
And threw me to the tumbling ocean

[Chorus]
The night was dark and raging
At one with the pitch black sea
The devil's made plans for the wealthy man
He'll never get to me
Never get to me
