Rose And Lion Lyrics

Heather Dale Rose And Lion

The squire serves the gentleman, and the gentleman follows me;
And in so doing learns the ways of skill and courtesy.
I ever serve my lady for the love she bears for me
And the Rose and Lion stand and serve the King (For the King!)
The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King.

The girl becomes a maiden, and the maiden follows me;
And in so doing learns the ways of skill and courtesy.
We ever serve the household with our hands and hearts and deeds
And the Rose and Lion stand and serve the King (For the King!)
The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King.

We serve as those before us, and we teach it to our young;
And fair the blooms who face the sky that from our soil have sprung.
And oft our deeds are roared aloud when honours praise is sung
And the Rose and Lion stand and serve the King (For the King!)
The Rose and Lion stand and serve the King.
