Our Lady of the Harbour

Our Lady of the Harbour

 

Should I call thee

Joan or Jean

My lady of Orleans

He screamed

Or maybe should I

Call thee mistress

Of the harbour

Since twas across

The very length

Of our fine battlefield

So green she rode

Naked

Minus both her

Shield and sword

 

Yes twas there she

Blushed most chaste

Before the hoard 

Tho modesty was

Saved of course

Since she was

Mounted sideways

Pon her horse

Aye there she sat

Draped in the cross

Of good Saint George

Our lady swore

Tho quiet of course

She could not

Gallop any bloody faster

 

And so upon retreat

A sure sign of our defeat

Us men of war

Thanked heaven for

The galleons anchored

Both offshore and

For those moored in

The harbour

Although for Joan or Jean

It did no good since she

Was placed atop a pile o wood

And burned alive

Our lady of Orleans and

Mistress of the harbour
