Lord Willoughby

This is another one from Popular Music of the Olden Time (William Chapell, 1859) and sequenced by myself. The complete lyrics are in Chapell's book; I'm only including the first stanza to give you a feel for the song. (Translation: I was too lazy to transcribe all the verses...)

The fifteenth day of July, With glist'ring sword and shield A famous fight in Flanders Was foughten in the field The most courageous officers Were English Captains three; But the bravest in the battle Was brave Lord Willoughby.
