Lyrics The Yeomen of the Guard, Act I: "I have a song to sing, The Yeomen of the Guard, Act I - Sir Thomas Allen feat. Sylvia McNair, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chorus, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner
I
have
a
song
to
sing-o
Sing
me
your
song-o
It
is
sung
to
the
moon
by
a
lovelorn
Loon
who
fled
from
the
mocking
throng
Oh,
it's
the
song
of
a
merry
man,
moping
mum,
whose
soul
Was
sad
and
whose
glance
was
glum,
who
sipped
no
sup
and
Who
craved
no
crumb
as
he
sighed
for
the
love
of
a
lady
Hey-di,
hey-di,
misery
me,
lack-a-day-dee
He
sipped
no
sup
and
he
craved
no
crumb
As
he
sighed
for
the
love
of
a
lady
I
have
a
song
to
sing-o
What
is
your
song-o?
It
is
sung
with
the
ring
of
the
songs
Maids
sing
who
love,
with
love
lifelong
Oh,
it's
the
song
of
a
merry
maid,
purely
proud,
who
loved
alone
And
who
laughed
aloud
at
the
moan
of
a
merry
man,
moping
mum
Whose
soul
was
sad
and
whose
glance
was
glum,
who
sipped
no
Sup
and
who
craved
no
crumb
as
he
sighed
for
the
love
of
a
lady
Hey-di,
hey-di,
misery
me,
lack-a-day-dee
He
sipped
no
sup
and
he
craved
no
crumb
As
he
sighed
for
the
love
of
a
lady
I
have
a
song
to
sing-o
Sing
me
your
song-o
It
is
sung
to
the
knell
of
a
churchyard
Bell
in
a
doleful
dirge,
ding-dong
Oh,
it's
the
song
of
poppinjay,
bravely
born,
who
turned
up
his
Noble
nose
with
scorn
at
the
humble
merry
maid,
purely
proud,
who
Loved
alone
and
who
laughed
aloud
at
the
moan
of
a
merry
man
Moping
mum,
whose
soul
was
sad
and
whose
glance
was
glum,
who
sipped
No
sup
and
who
craved
no
crumb
as
he
sighed
for
the
love
of
a
lady
Hey-di,
hey-di,
misery
me,
lack-a-day-dee
He
sipped
no
sup
and
he
craved
no
crumb
As
he
sighed
for
the
love
of
a
lady
I
have
a
song
to
sing-o
Sing
me
your
song-o
It
is
sung
with
a
sigh
and
a
tear
in
the
Eye,
for
it
tells
of
right
and
wrong
Oh,
it's
the
song
of
a
merry
maid,
once
so
gay,
who
Turned
on
her
heel
and
tripped
away
from
the
peacock
Poppinjay,
bravely
born,
who
turned
up
his
noble
nose
With
scorn
at
the
humble
heart
that
he
did
not
prize
So
she
begged
on
her
knees
with
downcast
eyes
for
the
Love
of
a
merry
man,
moping
mum,
whose
soul
was
sad
And
whose
glance
was
glum,
who
sipped
no
sup
and
who
Craved
no
crumb
as
he
sighed
for
the
love
of
a
lady
Hey-di,
hey-di,
misery
me,
lack-a-day-dee
He
strained
for
all
and
he
sighed
no
More
for
he
lived
in
the
love
of
a
lady
Hey-di,
hey-di,
misery
me,
lack-a-day-dee
He
strained
for
all
and
he
sighed
no
More
for
he
lived
in
the
love
of
a
lady
