hey, the king, my king is dead, cold an empty place in my bed

now the king, well he is dead, 

sorrow all over, the crown leaves my head tonight

nowhere to find and hard to forget 

soldiers kneel and take of your hat

women and man show your tears again, crying out 

‘such a good good man'

rise everyone rise, your lonely queen arrives    

rise rise everyone rise, your lonely queen arrives

long live the king, for years to come

it's all in the hands of our only one son

twelve years young and time has come

for him to declare what's right and wrong

rise rise everyone rise, a lonely holy queen arrives   

rise rise everyone rise

open the gates, let the horses ride

if only they could bring him back to live

ride, come on ride, will you

ride ride horses ride and carry the king on your back tonight

ride ride horses ride, carry my man on your back tonight

ride ride horses ride, carry the king on your back tonight
