Guenevere Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Camelot

Camelot (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1960

[GUENEVERE SOLO]
Oh, they found Guenevere
With her bold cavalier
And as swords rang through the hall
Lance escaped them, one and all
On a day dark and drear
Came to trial Guenevere
Ruled the jury for her shame
She be sentenced to the flame
[COMPANY]
Early dawn was the time
She would pay for her crime
Or would Lancelot reappear
Come and rescue Guenevere?
[SOLO]
I'll wager the king himself is hoping he will return
Why would he have chosen five a.m. for the queen to burn?
When the world is black and gray, what time would be more ideal
For Lancelot to come and steal Guenevere?
[COMPANY]
As the dawn filled the sky
On the day she would die
There was wonder far and near
Would the king burn Guenevere?
[SOLO]
Then suddenly earth and sky were dazed by a pounding roar
And suddenly through the dawn an army began to pour
And lo, ahead the army, holding aloft his spear
Came Lancelot to save his dear Guenevere
[COMPANY]
By the score fell the dead
As the sky turned to red
Countless numbers felt his spear
As he rescued Guenevere
In that dawn, in that gloom
More than love met its doom
In the dying candle's gleam
Came the sundown of a dream
Guenevere, Guenevere
In that dim, mournful year
Saw the men she held most dear
Go to war for Guenevere
Guenevere, Guenevere
Guenevere, Guenevere
Saw the men she held most dear
Go to war for Guenevere
Guenevere, Guenevere, Guenevere
