Lyrics
Jakob Wynn was 25 And he had lived an honest life Until they found his fingers in the till Failing crops made him unable To put food upon the table And I can hear his children crying still Gwendolyn kept head held high And steadfastly would not deny Her lover’s sigil’s colors weren’t the realm’s For lack of better reason The council called it treason She called his name out as the ax blade fell Punishment meted as planned All through a swing of my hand An hourglass empties its sand Then turns ‘round again The minstrel was a clever one Until one simple song he sung Made reference to the stoutness of the queen His highness wasn’t entertained And he made sure his last refrain Would separate his shoulders from his brain Punishment meted as planned All through a swing of my hand An hourglass empties its sand Then turns ‘round again Mother you think me a monster But those brought before me were tried Softly a prayer I did whisper As they died Punishment meted as planned All through a swing of my hand An hourglass empties its sand Then turns ‘round again
