General Ludd's Triumph (The Fucking Buckaroos)

[struggle4progress]

no more chant your old rhymes about bold Robin Hood
his feats I do little admire
I will sing thee the triumph of General Ludd
now the hero of Nottinghamshire ...

... his wrath is entirely confined to wide frames
and to those that old prices abate
and those engines of mischief were sentenced to die
by unanimous vote of the Trade ...

... he may censure great Ludd's disrespect for the Law
who ne'er for a moment reflects
that foul imposition alone was the cause
which produced these unhappy effects
let the haughty the humble no longer oppress
then shall Ludd sheath his conquering Sword ...
