NOW YOUR A GONNER (To the tune of Lady Madonna by Lennon & McCartney )

 

                        Now your a gonner,  head laid at your feet

                        If you’d come back from the dead  that would be real neat

                        You don’t need a haircut, your neck’s an open vent

                        The axeman’s been paid now and your soul  is heaven sent

                        You never really tried to state your case

                        When the Roundhead war was won

                        You led us on a merry chase

                        See the blood run

                        Now you’re a gonner, because you failed the test

                        You fought well but  Cromwell was the best

                        See the blood run

                        Now you’re a gonner -  axeman takes your head

                        Remember ‘remember’,  the last word that you said

                        Cromwell’s reign will soon be ending

                        Charles The Second will shortly come

                        In  churches the people’s knees are bending 

                        Praying that the slaughter  is all now done

                        See the blood run.

                        Cromwell’s a gonner, his head came off neat

                        They  dug him  him up especially to give us all a treat
