Guy Fawkes


I'd like to tell you about the nursery rhymes. These words are used in Battle Bonfire Boys who carry on the tradition of bonfire at their annual event in Sussex. They have honour of the longest countinuous Guy Fawkes bonfire celebration in the world.
Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder treason and plot
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

Guy Fawkes, guy t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow

By god's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burnig match
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king

And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!

This nursery rhyme, the Gunpowder Plot is introduced early into the young minds of children throughout the United Kingdom.
