MIDI file

A Baron of the Middle
Uncle Stevie Ironhand
Went off to Border Raid
And he took a native band
Some say he loves the Middle
"Not so," the others say,
But they all agree that our Stevie
Fought for Meridies.

(chorus)
Oh, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers
Not if you want to fight Meridies;
No, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers;
A turncoat you will have for all your days.

You all have heard his warcry,
"Follow me to victory!"
Well, Stephen in a victory
Is quite a thing to see
He'll fight against his Kingdom,
And when all is said and done,
You'll find the Traitor Baron
Is the Queen's Champion,

(chorus)
Oh, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers
Not if you want to fight Meridies;
No, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers;
A turncoat you will have for all your days.

It started at Crown Tourney
Our Stephen, he got drunk
And promised the wrong King
Both his prowess and his spunk.
What Bearkiller didn't know
Was, our Baron is a punk...

(chorus)
Oh, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers
Not if you want to fight Meridies;
No, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers;
A turncoat you will have for all your days.
