Salisbury Plain Lyrics

[00:00.00]	Salisbury Plain(feat. Dave Swarbrick) - Martin Carthy/Dave Swarbrick
[00:00.77]	As I walked over salisbury plain
[00:07.27]	It was there I met a scamping young blade
[00:14.69]	He kissed me and enticèd me so
[00:19.31]	Till along with him I was forced for to go
[00:27.24]	We came unto a public house at last
[00:33.78]	And there for man and wife we did pass
[00:41.14]	He called for strong ail and wine and beer
[00:46.77]	Till at length we both to bed did repair
[00:55.81]	Undress yourself my darling says he
[01:02.85]	Undress yourself and come to bed with me
[01:09.78]	Oh yes that I will then says she
[01:14.77]	If you'll keep all those flash girls away
[01:23.69]	Oh them flash girls you need not fear
[01:31.04]	For you'll be safeguarded my dear
[01:37.61]	I'll maintain you as some lady so gay
[01:43.52]	For I'll go a robbing on the kings highway
[01:52.49]	So it's early next morning my true love arose
[01:59.61]	And so nimberly he put on his clothes
[02:07.98]	Straight to the highway he set sail
[02:13.21]	And was there he robbed the baconches of the mail
[02:21.84]	Oh now my love in newgate gaol do lie
[02:29.27]	Expecting every moment to for to die
[02:36.01]	The Lord have mercy on his poor soul
[02:41.34]	For I think I hear the death bell for to toll
