the sixth of november.
the gunpowder treason and plot.
i can think of no reason,
why the gunpowder treason,
should ever be forgot.
surrender, surrender,
nineteen december,
what happened then was rot.
return to sender,
nineteen december,
that - that too must not be forgot.
be wary, be wary,
of eighth january,
when winter turned so hot.
i am sorry, so sorry,
for eighth january,
but that too must not be forgot.
be just, be just,
to the thirteenth august,
the deadly, deadly shot.
why must, i trust,
the thirteenth august,
will never ever be forgot.
