He May Have Looked From the Window Track

The Bridport Songs

Richard the third looked in on Bridport
In 1483
He lodged overnight at St John's
Priory
He may have looked from the window
He may have looked from the oriel window
He may have looked from the window

He paused to deal with urgent matters;
needed to relax
13 shillings and 4 pence
for wine he paid in tax
He may have looked from the window
He may have looked from the oriel window
He may have looked from the window

He was travelling to Exeter
To quell a rebellion
And put an end to Stafford
And the evils he had done
Stafford tried to take flight
Bedecked out in disguise
But was discovered hiding
And that was his demise
Mistaken in thinking
He'd made good his escape
He was done for treason
His head struck from his nape
Richard may have looked from the window
He may have looked from the oriel window
He may have looked from the window
He may have looked from the window
He may have looked from the oriel window
He may have looked from the window
