Your father told me I can stay, But he mistrusts my unfamiliar ways: He want's to use the things I've learnt Six hundred years of knowledge sorely earned. But if we can stay together, I don't mind the things he tells me: Of defending him in mutiny, I don't care if you're there, I don't care One the farms they've made a stand, Against the hated iron hands, they're uniting They're backed by everyone in town, And I must ride to beat them down, how they're fighting: But I understand their cause To fight against the laws, they're right: I promised to defend your father to the end and fight The hatred's there in their eyes, They'll break his might it's no surprise if they do it: But I must take the other side And somehow learn to stand and fight, and come through it: Though there's little chance That I beat bow and lance, I must: Our love drives me on For you're the only one I can trust.
