| [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 |
