When Lord Strange failed in his escape
Twas then that the king learnt nearly too late
Of the treachery of Sir William Stanley
Such doubtful loyalty for his majesty

A very clear message from the king was sent
But with nothing to lose Sir William could not relent
Sir William the traitor had nothing to lose
In declaring support for the Tudor I presume

For a while Henry Tudor's nerve nearly failed
His demeanour so nervous his face so pale
He journeyed to Tamworth and his men must have feared
Just like in Normandy he had disappeared

From Leicester the king led his army out
Intent upon victory there is no doubt
Near Merevale Abbey close to Watling street
That's where Tudor's army he would meet

Thomas Longe''s duty his king to defend
But Roger Wake felt he was no friend
Threatened by his letters full sore against his will
Untested in battle  the summons to fulfill

Flickering campfires not so distant
Tomorrow to die perhaps in an instant
Would they survive and who might they kill
The king's army camped on Ambion Hill
