Lyrics
King Alfred Was A Humble King
King Alfred was a humble King
So quietly brave and strong.
He fought against the Vikings,
And knew his right from wrong.
He led the Saxon army, to fight the Viking men.
But being humble got to him; he didn’t
Even realise he’d been made the King back then.
King Alfred thought he’d do some good and so he baked some cakes.
He wasn’t very good at it and made some big mistakes.
The cakes were burned to cinders and turned as black as coal.
The swineherd’s wife was very cross and called him
‘You Great Fool!’
King Alfred gathered up his men in eight six three AD.
His Saxon army grew in size; a mighty company.
At Edington the Vikings got beaten well and true.
So Alfred made the history books; in Winchester you’ll
see him there, a King for all to view.
