[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
