Burford Stomp
=============
Written by Rev Hammer, from his own "Freeborn John" LP, and "Too Drunk
In Public" acoustic CD available from On The Fiddle (see Links).
Transcribed by Alan Bigham, 11/2/00. Lyrics shamelessly stolen from the excellent
Rev Hammer Site.
INTRO: (without fiddle)
Am ... C F G Am
CHORUS:
Am
They'll bury us down further in the ground,
Am
Than we ever dug down for a living.
C F G Am
Seven years of fighting for the dead man's shilling.
They'll bury us down further in the ground,
Than we ever dug down for a living.
Seven years of fighting for the dead man's shilling.
VERSE I:
Am
Four hundred honest men
Ran to Cromwell's call
C
Four hundred honest men
F G Am
Now waiting by the wall
Four hundred honest men
Ran to Cromwell's call
Four hundred honest men
Are now waiting by the wall
CHORUS
Am ... C F G Am x2
VERSE II:
Four hundred honest men
Ran to Cromwell's call
Four hundred honest men
Now waiting by the wall
We are four hundred honest men,
And nothing have we got,
'Cause Free-born John is in the Tower
And tomorrow we'll be shot.
CHORUS
Am ... C F G Am x2
CHORUS
