YESTERDAY

By Sir Steven MacEanruig and Sir William the Lucky

Tourney day: all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though I'll have to slay,
Oh it's too bad it's tourney day.

Suddenly, its not half the shield it used to be,
There's a broadsword hanging over me,
Oh tourney day came suddenly.

Why I had to go I don't know, they wouldn't say,
Why I have to fight and be slain
Or there must slay.

Oh yesterday, all the tourneys seemed so far away,
Now I have to see to my sword play
Or else die on this tourney day.

Tune: 'Yesterday'
