jolly rogers - thirty men lyrics
thirty men were killed here
and thirty widows made
this town’s only felt fear
since the first stones were laid
thirty men stood their ground
for son, daughter and wife
facing death they were bound
to save their love, their life
thirty men stared ahead
and saw their fate advance
though their hearts were filled with dread
they kept their rigid stance
thirty men cut and killed
though their cause was lost
on the earth their blood was spilled
their courage had this cost
thirty widows in grief
to every hearth were bent
flame would be their relief
since all their hope was spent
thirty widows took away
from the fire a burning brand
they set torch to wood and hay
their homes burned by their hand
the enemy stood and gazed
and saw their plunder burn
then they all turned away
and never did return
freedom won, the cost was dear
the sacrifice was paid
thirty men were killed here
and thirty widows made
thirty men were killed here
and thirty widows made
this town’s only felt fear
since the first stones were laid
