Mrcorbett is the musical alter ego of English Singer-Songwriter Warren Jenks, Mrcorbett is a quirky lyrical chap who loves to dabble in many styles of music.
Born few many moons ago, I've been writing songs since i was a wee nipper but only got brave enough to let others hear them when I was old enough not to worry if they were any good, luckily I've sold quite a few since and have performed live over a thousand times. What's even more amazing is that I never get bored of making up some new ones and trying them out on your fine ears! Any comments on my music are always gratefully received by Mrcorbett, and thank you for reading this if you got this far! fare thee well and bless ya fellow music fan :)

Story behind the song
A whizz through the famous escape to france by Charles II from the clutches of Oliver Cromwell and the New Model Army.
Lyrics
Charlie II Oh merry monarch and col careless Hiding from Cromwells ceaseless quest In Boscobels fine Oak we stayed all day Under round noses to plan our escape Chorus God save England and the King My liege you must embrace and follow our scheme A woodsman from now is who you must be To France well go for there's safety there To regroup and build once more our nation fair Chorus Good pendrill brothers will lead our way To Moseley we'll ride adventures play My Good steed stay true for my kingdoms you bear On your broad shoulders thell nobly sit fair Chorus Through Wooten Wawen to Stratford we sped 1000 the bounty upon my shorn head Calmly deceiving the N.M.A For our proud history these moments we pray for Chorus Ironic the crown inn found shelter for us Our journey progressing with little no fuss Our luck please stay well for what could yet be The future of my sovereignty Chorus In Stonehenges great beauty I wait patiently To hear final news of our passage to sea We are so close though real danger keeps near Our final departure lies cloaked in hells fire Chorus From Shoreham we leave home in close company For Cromwells best agents bite hard at our heels To succeed from these odds a proud man I be Grateful for my lifetime to those who believed in Chorus Yes these forty two days now ingrained in my heart Never to leave until death I do part my country restored soon its true legacy Forever to stand proud forever to be Chorus 2011 Warren Jenks.all rights reserved
