作词 : Johnson, Traditional | |

It's of two noble butchers as I have heard men say | |
Started out from London all on a market day | |
And as they were a-riding as fast as they could ride | |
’Oh, stop your horse’ - says Johnson - ‘for I hear some woman cry’ | |
‘I will not stop’ - says Wilson - ‘I will not stop’ - says he | |
‘I will not stop’ - says Wilson - ‘for robbed we shall be’. | |
Johnson, he got off his horse, searched the woods all ‘round | |
And there he spied a woman with her hair pinned to the ground | |
‘How came you here, dear woman ? How came you here fast bound ?’ | |
‘How came you here this morning with your hair pinned to the ground ?’ | |
‘They robbed me, they stripped me, they left me here fast bound’ | |
’They left me here this morning with my hair pinned to the ground’. | |
May God keep all good people | |
May God keep all good people | |
May God keep all good people from such bad company. | |
Then Johnson, he being a valiant man and a man of courage bold | |
He took his coat from off his back to keep her from the cold | |
And as they were a-riding as fast as they could ride | |
She put a whistle to her mouth and she gave three shivering cries | |
Up jumped three bold and swaggering men with swords all in their hands | |
Who then commanded Johnson, commanded him to stand | |
‘I'll stop, I'll stand’ - says Johnson - ‘as long as I can stand’ | |
’For never was I, in all my life, afraid of any man’. | |
May God keep all good people | |
May God keep all good people | |
May God keep all good people from such bad company. | |
Oh, two of them he quickly slew and the third he did not mind | |
'Til the false young woman took a knife and stabbed him from behind | |
Poor Johnson he spun round about and he fell down to the ground | |
And he cursed that wretched woman who gave him his death wound | |
Now the day it being a market day, there were people travelling by | |
Who saw the awful murder, who saw poor Johnson die | |
Now Johnson he was a valiant man and a valiant man was he | |
May God keep all good people from such bad company. | |
May God keep all good people | |
May God keep all good people | |
May God keep all good people from such bad company. |
