Songtexte

Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!
Rescue my castle before the hot day
Brightens to blue from its silvery grey
Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!
Ride past the suburbs, asleep as you'd say
Many's the friend there, will listen and pray
God's luck to gallants that strike up the lay
Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!
Forty miles off, like a roebuck at bay
Flouts Castle Brancepeth the Roundheads' array
Who laughs, Good fellows ere this, by my fay
Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!
Who? My wife Gertrude that, honest and gay
Laughs when you talk of surrendering, Nay!
I've better counsellors what counsel they?
Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!
Written by: Sir Charles Villiers Stanford
