The Return From Exile Lyrics

Voice - Vox Populi - The Folksinger (Rory McLeod)

Chorus:
Hey now! Come and hear my song.
I'll tell you about a man called Free-born John.
Hey hey now! Come and hear my song,
The return from exile of a Free-born John.
He's riding back across the water now,
And on my word, there'll be a b***** row.
Old Cromwell, he'd like to see him dead
But Lilburne, he'll offer him a fight instead.
Chorus

Down the Old Bailey he'll make his stand,
A stand for the freedom of the common man.
He'll speak for you and he'll speak for me
Oh! He'll argue his way into history.

Chorus

They banished him on pain of Death
You'll have to wait and see what happens next...
