about

The story of the last wolf hunted down in Cumbria, UK.

lyrics

Every Last Wolf
Mike Turnbull

In a time where winderness was tamed
And blackthorns in the eyes of the brave
Ghost prints remain on the cliffs
And Wraysholme Tower exists

Edgar threw down his fist
Said every last wolf not to be missed
Come forward all you brave fellas
And take the hand of dearest Adela

Br. We’ll start the chase at Windermere
Ride our steeds as far as here
South, with an unknown knight
Just who is this mystery man they cried

Ch. We’ll find the old grey enemy
The last wolf to surely tread
In the forests of old England
Chase him until he’s stone dead
Kill every last wolf he said x 4

Whoever shall succeed
Will have the crest of the wolf indeed
And carved on the tomb at your feet
That wolf mild & meek

Upon the cliffs of Humphrey Head
The wolf has Adela in dread
With teeth bared & real
Grey fur met with steel
Br, Ch.
Who was this knight with a spear
Who took the hand of dearest Adela
Who was this mysterious one
It was Edgars long lost son
Br, Ch.
