On My Way Back To Knaresborough
(Lyrics & Music: Tim Hunter)
Jacobite Officer: I think we’ve caught an English spy! In the name of the Jacobite Army I arrest you. You’ll be Court Martialled in the morning.
Jacobean Officer: State your name, rank and intention
Jack: My name is John Metcalf. I’m not a soldier, sir. I have no weapon, just my violin. I’m here to offer my musical services to you.
Jacobean Officer: Hah! Play us your Violin then, Metcalf!
[Jack plays some violin]
Jacobean Officer: Good! You’re free to gang, you’re nae threat to us
Close call, now I know why they built Hadrian’s Wall
Close shave, I was captured I had to be brave
But the Lord he saved me, he made sure I went free
Now I’m on my way, yes I’m on my way,
On my way back to Knaresborough
Out of jail, somehow I lived to tell the tale
Scot free, I managed to restore my dignity
But, the Lord he saved me, he made sure I went free
Now I’m on my way, yes I’m on my way, back to Knaresborough
On my way back to Knaresborough
On my way back to Knaresborough
