WILLIE-O'S SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

Willie-O's Song Challenge:  The way the contents of Áine's Mudcat Songbook are ordered, the first song listed is my ballad "1743", because the index puts numbered titles in sequence first, then alphabetizes the rest.  So here's my challenge: write a song about a year or event which preceded 1743 AD, (as far back as 1742 BC actually), entitle it accordingly, and knock me out of the top spot! I dare ya!


1603-March 25th by MMario

Does anyone here remember Good King Harry?
He was England when I was young
It seems like yesterday 
That he was on the throne
But I just turned around and he is gone. 

Does anyone here remember Harry's son?
Why did he have to die so young?
It seems like yesterday
That he was on the throne
But I just turned around and he is gone 

Does anyone here remember Bloody Mary?
Can't say I'm sad that she is gone
But it seems just yesterday
That she was on the throne
And I just turned around and she is gone. 

Has anyone here seen Good Queen Bess?
She's ruled us all for oh so long;
It seems just yesterday
When she was young and strong
Then I turned around and she was gone.
