[00:24.33]A buck or doe, believe it so
[00:27.15]A pheasant or a hare
[00:29.58]Were set on earth for everyone
[00:32.67]Quite equally to share
[00:35.13]So poacher bold as I unfold
[00:38.46]Keep up your gallant heart
[00:40.71]And think about those poachers bold
[00:43.80]That night in Rufford Park
[00:47.91]They say that forty gallant poachers
[00:51.75]They were in distress
[00:53.28]They'd often been attacked when
[00:56.91]Their number, it was less
[01:12.00]Among the gorse to settle scores
[01:14.94]Those forty gathered stones
[01:17.07]To make a fight for poor men's rights
[01:20.49]And break the keepers bones
[01:26.04]The keepers went with flails against
[02:06.90]The poachers and their cause
[02:09.09]So no man there again would dare
[02:12.24]Defy the rich man's laws
[02:27.84]Upon the ground with mortal wound
[02:30.39]Head keeper Roberts lay
[02:32.91]He never will rise up until
[02:36.63]The final judgment day
[02:37.83]Of all that band who made a stand
[03:04.17]To set a net or snare
[03:06.27]The four men brought before the court
[03:09.69]Were tried for murder there
[03:10.95]The Judge he said, "For Robert's death
[03:27.87]Transported you must be
[03:29.73]To serve a term of forty years
[03:33.39]In convict slavery"
[03:36.00]So poacher bold, your tale is told
[03:39.06]Keep up your gallant heart
[03:41.37]And think about those poachers bold
[03:44.37]That night in Rufford Park
