[Lyric] Nottingham Captain (Band Of Hope)

[Verse 1]
You working men of Derbyshire
Who spend your life in grief and fear
Come take your pike staff in your hand
And join our march to Nottingham

[Chorus]
Everyone their skill must try
You must turn out and not deny
No bloody soldier must you dread
You must turn out and fight for bread
For the time has come you plainly see
The government opposed must be

[Verse 2]
The stockingers trade has all gone down
There is no work in village or town
For the Derby Rib from fashion did fall
And left us with no work at all

[Verse 3]
Lord Liverpool said when the war was won
That there'd be work for evеry man
But our children they still cry for bread
Us working folk'd bе better dead
[Chorus]
Everyone their skill must try
You must turn out and not deny
No bloody soldier must you dread
You must turn out and fight for bread
For the time has come you plainly see
The government opposed must be

[Verse 4]
We call at every house and farm
And demand of them to give us arms
We'll take each able bodied man
To join our march to Nottingham

[Verse 5]
And when we come to Nottingham
There'll be beef and bread for everyone
We'll join the clouds coming from the north
To show this government our worth

[Verse 6]
From Wakefield, Leeds and Manchester
They all will come to join us there
And then we'll march to London town
To bring this tyrant government down
[Chorus]
Everyone their skill must try
You must turn out and not deny
No bloody soldier must you dread
You must turn out and fight for bread
For the time has come you plainly see
The government opposed must be
