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
