Cry of the Cordwain, Pt. 2

There must have been 10 thousand men on horseback on their way
And 50 thousand more followed on their feet that day
The locals joined our cause, there's more 'us now than ever
The lords don't know our worth, and they think they have us tethered

Our King will do us right, he'll meet us and he'll listen
Our actions are our purpose, the people they have risen
We have our (four) demands, an end to bonded labour
To sell to who we like, and the land 4p an acre!
