Some Tyrant - Kate Rusby

From her 2001 album, Little Lights

Lyrics;
Some tyrant has stolen my true love away
And here in old England I can no longer stay
I'll cross the wide ocean, ne'er on my bed rest
In search of my true love that I love the best.
When that I've found out my joy and my delight
I will welcome her kindly by day and by night.
Here's a health to all others that are loyal and just
And here's confusion to the rivals that lives in distrust.

There's Venus and Volum they are both joined as one,
So keep yourselves single as you and I have done,
So keep yourselves single and constant I'll retire
Unto her like some Venus that flourishes like fire.

The bugle shall speak and the serpent shall sing
There'll be instruments of music for to make the valleys ring.
Oh the huntsman he'll holler and the hounds make their noise
For to fill my love's heart with ten thousand bright joys.

Repeat first verse
I know not where I'll find the one I love the best

What a clever Barnsley girl she is. I saw her at the Halifax gig and was quite emotional after doing all my homework and buying the Leeds DVD and the new album. Then actually seeing her walk on stage was very special. and I had frog in my throat, I was enjoying every second of what she was doing. a joy to be a part of her gig.
