lyrics

Once on the streets of London
Played a piper named Simon Brown
So poor he played for a penny
From the passersby in the town
But amongst the crowds of people
One angel did stand out
Her name was Amy Davis
And his judgement she did clout

With hair as dark as a raven’s
With a voice so velvety sweet
The guard of his heart once steadfast
Laid down his sword in defeat
He said take from me my passion
And give to me your woe
For I know to such a goddess
All my virtue I do owe

She said “Yes I will dear piper boy
But lie to you I will not
I am surely bound to another
A man without righteous thought
His name is John Davis
And he is a wretched soul
To destroy all those who wrong him
May be his only goal”

Now John may have been the devil
But a fool he was not
He smelled love’s sweet stench on Amy
And with anger he was fraught
So John tracked down the piper
Before he could ever hide
Simon begged John to show mercy
But his rage would not subside

For John Davis was an ogre
So he knocked Simon to the ground
He then drew his pistol
And he put it in Simon’s mouth
He said “play me a tune dear piper boy
Let your fingers fly my son
For as quick as they be on that pipe
Mine be quicker on my gun.”
