<br>
A Baron of the Middle<br>
<br>
Uncle Stevie Ironhand<br>
Went off to Border Raid<br>
And he took a native band<br>
Some say he loves the Middle<br>
"Not so," the others say, But they all agree that our Stevie<br>
Fought for Meridies.<br>
<br>
_(chorus)<br>
<br>
Oh, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers<br>
Not if you want to fight Meridies;<br>
No, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers;<br>
A turncoat you will have for all your days._<br>
<br>
You all have heard his warcry,<br>
<br>
"Follow me to victory!"<br>
Well, Stephen in a victory<br>
Is quite a thing to see<br>
He'll fight against his Kingdom,<br>
And when all is said and done,<br>
You'll find the Traitor Baron<br>
Is the Queen's Champion,<br>
<br>
_(chorus)<br>
<br>
Oh, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers<br>
Not if you want to fight Meridies;<br>
No, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers;<br>
A turncoat you will have for all your days._<br>
<br>
It started at Crown Tourney<br>
<br>
Our Stephen, he got drunk<br>
And promised the wrong King<br>
Both his prowess and his spunk.<br>
What Bearkiller didn't know<br>
Was, our Baron is a punk...<br>
<br>
_(chorus)<br>
<br>
Oh, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers<br>
Not if you want to fight Meridies;<br>
No, you can't send your Baron out to fight Three Rivers;<br>
A turncoat you will have for all your days._<br>
