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
