1
When Henry marched five thousand men
2
And then King Richard was slain
3
Sir William Stanley took his crown
4
All at the battle of Bosworth Plain
5
The next heir in the Yorkist line
6
Prince Edward was to the throne
7
So Henry, by his own decree
8
Into the tower the Prince was thrown
9
Now Richard, he was dead and gone
10
But the tale was just beginning
11
In the fortunes of the baker's son
12
And the story of the Scullion King
13
Now there was a most ambitious man
14
A priest called Richard Simon
15
Who plotted and devised a plan
16
That could bring great reward for him
17
He said he'd found the noble prince
18
That rumour spoke was free
19
Instead it was the baker's son
20
And he their future king shall be
21
The people came to Dublin town
22
Where the crown was given to him
23
With an army for the baker's son
24
In the story of the Scullion King
25
Then they sailed across the Irish sea
26
But no support they'd find there
27
From all those in the north country
28
When they arrived at Lancashire
29
Farewell to dreams of sovereignty
30
And the power that it could bring
31
In the fortunes of the baker's son
32
And the story of the Scullion King
33
Then down to Newark they did go
34
Four thousand men he lost there
35
Face to face with Henry's men
36
And he was taken prisoner
37
To spend all of his days to come
38
Within the royal kitchen
39
Was the fortune of the baker's son
40
And the story of the Scullion King
41
It was the fortune of the baker's son
42
And the story of the Scullion King
