I have sBmeen the ghost of old King Richard
WAalking through the hall as if he wAere AalBmive
And with sBmuch an air of pain and sorrow
TrAying to get back to the AothAer sBmide
I have hBmeard the tale of when King Richard
Was grAanted a relic of the HAolAy CrBmoss
But from hBmim 'twas stolen when in prison
NAow he's greaving fAor thAe lBmoss
EmOh a lBmack a day
MAay good fortune cBmome his way
EmOh a lBmack a lee
MAay his spirit rAest Ain pBmeace
I have sBmeen the sword of old King Richard
HAanging with a scabbard at the fAirAesBmide
Such a mBmighty blade of Spanish silver
KAeen and flashing in the fAirAelBmight
I have rBmead the words of old King Richard
StAanding at the walls of JerAusAalBmem
When he rBmaised his voice to exhort his people
RAeady for the battle with the SAarAacBmen
EmOh a lBmack a day
MAay good fortune cBmome his way
EmOh a lBmack a lee
MAay his spirit rAest Ain pBmeace
