Turpin Hero (特平英雄) - Eliza Carthy/The Ratcatchers
On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er
I spied a lawyer riding before
Kind Sir says he Aren't you afraid
Of Turpin that mischievous blade
Oh rare Turpin hero
Oh rare Turpin oh
Said Turpin he'll never find me out
I'll hid my money in my boot
Well then said the lawyer he'll never find my gold
For it's stitched in my cape behind
Oh rare Turpin hero
Oh rare Turpin oh
As they rode down by the powder mill
Turpin commands him to be still
No said Your cape I will cut off
For my mare she needs a saddle cloth
Oh rare Turpin hero
Oh rare Turpin oh
As turpin rode in search of prey
He met an excise man on his way
And boldly he did bid him stand
Gold he said I do demand
Oh rare Turpin hero
Oh rare Turpin oh
And Turpin quite without remorse
Soon knocked him quite from off his horse
And left him on the ground to spall
Rode off with his gold and all
Oh rare Turpin hero
Oh rare Turpin oh
As Turpin rode over Salisbury Plain
He met a lord judge with all his strain
Boldly then he did approach
And he robbed the judge as he sat in his coach
Oh rare Turpin hero
Oh rare Turpin oh
Oh rare Turpin hero
Oh rare Turpin oh
