Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ’twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King!
Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
Did You Know:
Guy Fawkes wasn’t the instigator of the Gunpowder Plot, he just became the “fall guy.” The real person behind the plot was Richard Catesby whose descendant, Kit Harington, played Catesby in the mini-series “Gunpowder.”
I love trivia… **G**

Excuse me, it was ROBERT Catesby. Kit’s father’s middle name is Richard and that stuck in my head. My bad….
