[00:43.633]	“If you'll meet me at the Red Barn
[00:48.143]	As sure as I have life
[00:51.596]	I will take you to Ipswich Town
[00:55.196]	And there make you my wife.”
[00:58.685]	He straight went home and fetched his gun,
[01:03.144]	His pick-axe and his spade.
[01:06.583]	He went unto the Red Barn
[01:10.261]	And there he dug her grave.
[01:54.649]	Come all you thoughtless young men,
[02:01.432]	A warning take by me
[02:05.025]	To think on my unhappy fate
[02:09.224]	To be hanged upon a tree.
[02:14.340]	My name is William Corder,
[02:19.534]	To you I do declare
[02:23.074]	I courted Maria Marten,
[02:26.856]	Most beautiful and fair.
[02:32.600]	I promised I would marry her
[02:37.363]	Upon a certain day;
[02:40.934]	Instead of that I was resolved
[02:45.229]	To take her life away.
[03:08.374]	I went unto her father's house
[03:12.607]	The eighteenth day of May
[03:15.849]	And said, “My dear Maria,
[03:19.385]	We will fix a wedding day.”
[03:22.938]	With her heart so light she thought no harm
[03:26.764]	To meet me she did go.
[03:30.158]	I murdered her all in the barn
[03:33.914]	And laid her body low.
[03:37.312]	After the horrid deed was done
[03:41.104]	She laid there in her gore
[03:44.498]	Her bleeding, mangled body lay
[03:48.301]	Beneath the Red Barn floor.
[04:05.842]	Now all things being silent
[04:09.501]	Her spirit could not rest.
[04:12.901]	She appeared unto her mother
[04:16.562]	Who'd suckled her at her breast.
[04:19.992]	For many a long month or more
[04:23.915]	Her mind being sore oppressed,
[04:27.193]	Neither at night nor yet by day
[04:31.046]	Could she take any rest.
[04:34.253]	Her mother's mind being so disturbed
[04:38.729]	She dreamed it three nights o'er,
[04:42.123]	Her daughter she lay murdered
[04:45.796]	Beneath the Red Barn floor.
[04:49.407]	She sent the father to the Barn
[04:53.598]	Where he the ground did thrust
[04:57.157]	And there he found his daughter
[05:00.881]	Lay mingling with the dust
[05:18.521]	My trial was hard, I could not stand,
[05:22.376]	Most woeful was the sight
[05:25.676]	When her dear bones was brought to prove
[05:29.531]	Which pierced my heart quite.
[05:32.866]	Her aged father standing by,
[05:36.552]	Likewise his loving wife,
[05:39.875]	And in her grief her hair she tore
[05:43.577]	She scarcely could keep life.
[05:55.001]	Adieu adieu, my loving friends,
[06:01.156]	My glass is almost run.
[06:05.035]	On Monday next will be my last
[06:09.278]	When I am to be hung.
[06:14.959]	So all young men who do pass by
[06:19.971]	With pity look on me
[06:23.675]	For murdering of that young girl
[06:27.848]	I was hung upon a tree.
