The Czarina Shook Her Head Lyrics

Rick Masters The Czarina Shook Her Head

We have a son, there is a little Romanov
People need tradition, need direction, they need us
A stranger said, Mathruiska, why are you afraid of
someone with my power here before you in your home?
The czaravich can never bleed if he is to survive
Take me in your confidence and I'll keep your son alive
One and one is true
He'll swear he never wanted to
He looked twice and said I can identify this man
And the czarina shook her head
Alexandra, you see he's just a charlaton?
Is he curing every woman with those hands he's laying on?
The people moan, they say your like a concubine
And he plays you like a balalaika in the summertime
He appoints the cabinet as the soldiers kiss your feet
We'll poison him, then shoot him
And we'll drown him in the Neva water
One and one is true
I swear I never wanted to
He looked twice and said I can Identify this man
And the czarina shook her head
I said one and one is true
The Bolshevik is rising too
He looked twice and said I can identify this man
And the czarina shook her head
