Turpin Hero |
On Hounslow Heath as I rode o’er |
I spied a lawyer riding before |
Kind Sir you afraid of Turpin |
That mischievous blade? |
Oh rare Turpin hero |
Oh rare Turpin oh |
Said Turpin he’d never find me here |
I hid my money in my boot |
The lawyer says no one can find |
I hid my gold in my cape behind |
Oh rare Turpin hero |
Oh rare Turpin oh |
As they were riding past the mill |
Turpin commands him to stand still |
He says your cloak I must cut off |
My mare she needs a saddle cloth |
Oh rare Turpin hero |
Oh rare Turpin oh |
As turpin rode in search of prey |
He spied a man on taxiway |
And boldly then bid him stand |
Your gold he said I do demand |
Oh rare Turpin hero |
Oh rare Turpin oh |
And Turpin even without remorse |
Soon knocked him quite from off his horse |
And left him on the ground to spall |
While he rode off with his gold and all |
Oh rare Turpin hero |
Oh rare Turpin oh |
Now Turpin is condemned to die |
To hang upon the gallows high |
His legacy is a strong rope |
For the shooting of a dung-hill cock |
Oh rare Turpin hero |
Oh rare Turpin oh |
Oh rare Turpin hero |
Oh rare Turpin oh |
Oh rare Turpin hero |
Oh rare Turpin oh |
