O I'll sing you one-o
Hey, hey the wolves will bay
What is your one-o
One for the land of Ealdormere, and ever more shall be so.
I'll sing you two-o
Hey, hey the wolves will bay
What is your two-o
Two, two, myself and you, we wear the scarlet proudly
And one for the land of Ealdormere, and ever more shall be so.
(The song retains the fourth line of every new verse)
Pre-Enthronment (original) version
Ten, ten, let's do it it again
Nine for kaffa in the ditch
Eight for the bastard Viking
Seven for the Northern Households
Six for the Northern Baronies
Five for the Lord Lieutenant
Four for his Royal Highness
Three, three for His Majesty
Two, two, myself and you, we wear the scarlet proudly
And one for the land of Ealdormere, and ever more shall be so.
Revisionist version
Ten, ten, let's do it it again
Nine for kaffa in the ditch
Eight for the bastard Viking
Seven for the loyal Households
Six for the loyal Baronies
Five for His Grace, Tadashi
Four for His lupine Highness
Three, three for His Majesty
Two, two, myself and you, we wear the scarlet proudly
And one for the land of Ealdormere, and ever more shall be so.
