“Your silver and your gold are mine;
your best wives and children also are mine.”
They came and took it all
Left us there to fall
They didn’t leave a penny
Of all we had that was many
The beautiful wives we held
Were tied and away they were led
All the children we had raised
Not once did we receive praise
For then being so well behaved
Now all I have is gone
They’ve come and taken it all.
Thank you for reading.
