The Execution Of Louis Capet Lyrics

Artist : WATERS, ROGER
Album : Ça Ira

[Scene 3 "The Execution of Louis Capet"]

[RINGMASTER]
In the spring of ninety-two
The Austrians and the Prussians too
Crossed the line
The war had come
The people went to see the King
Reluctantly he let them in

[RINGMASTER & CHORUS]
And over tea they said that
He must choose one hat

[RINGMASTER]
A crown in Koblenz with his friends
Or if he chose to make amends
He might adopt

[CHORUS]
He might adopt

[RINGMASTER & CHORUS]
Their scarlet bonnet

[RINGMASTER]
Surprise, surprise, when left to choose
Too late he chose "The Bonnet Rouge"
