Lyrics The Yeomen of the Guard, Act I: "A good day to you!" - Anne Collins feat. Anthony Michaels-Moore, Jean Rigby, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner




A good day to you
Good day, Dame Carruthers
Busy today?
Busy?
Aye
Poor Colonel Fairfax, who's to die today, is to be removed
To number 14 in the cold harbor, that he may have his last
Hour alone with his confessor, and I've to see to that
He'll die bravely
I fought under him two years since, but
He valued his life as it were a feather
It's a cruel thing, a wicked thing, and a barbarous
Thing that so gallant a hero should lose his
Head, for it's the handsomest head in England
For dealings with the devil
You know very well that Colonel Fairfax is a
Student of alchemy, but this wicked tar, like a
Cruel giant in a fairy tale, must be fed with blood
Silence, you silly girl
I was born in the old keep, and there's not a stone in
Its walls that is not as dear to me as my own right hand
