Macbeth… a ballad

-

The witches foretold it

A time it will be

That Macbeth will be King

For all to see

-

Macbeth why did you?

Kill Duncan our king?

Your days are now numbered

Our voices do sing

-

Duncan was king

A role Macbeth wished to play

He stabbed him and slew him

On that dark fateful day

-

Macbeth why did you?

Kill Duncan our king?

Your days are now numbered

Our voices do sing

-

Now Banquo knows

The deed that was done

He paid with his life

For the crown that was won

-

Macbeth why did you?

Kill Duncan our king?

Your days are now numbered

Our voices do sing

-

Macbeth was forewarned

By the witches again

To watch for his life

Macduff was his bane

-

Macbeth why did you?

Kill Duncan our king?

Your days are now numbered

Our voices do sing

-

Lady Macbeth grew insane

As the woods marched to him

His fate was now sealed

His life, it grew dim
