Your father told me I can stay,But he mistrusts my unfamiliar ways:He want's to use the things I've learntSix 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 careOne the farms they've made a stand,Against the hated iron hands, they're unitingThey're backed by everyone in town,And I must ride to beat them down, how they're fighting:But I understand their causeTo fight against the laws, they're right:I promised to defendYour father to the end and fightThe 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 sideAnd somehow learn to stand and fight, and come through it:Though there's little chanceThat I beat bow and lance, I must:Our love drives me onFor you're the only one I can trust.
