I
Verse 1
am a daring
highwayman,
likewise a gallant rover
From London town I surely came,
Gb
Bbm
since I became a rover
For a maid who proved her child,
for England I sailed over
I left my parents almost wild,
since I became a rover
How many battles I've been in
Through France and Spain and Flanders
And always fought with courage
Bold under my brave commanders
But through the usage I received
No one shall ever control me
Resolve it for my liberty
Strong walls never will hold me
Back to England shores I came
As fast as wind could blow me
Resolve it for my liberty,
no one should ever control me
Back to England shores
I came and found my name deserted
My parents' heart was almost broken,
I was sore -off -righted
For want of money and a friend,
then poverty came on me
For want of money and a friend,
it brought destruction on me
The very first man I ever loved,
it was the Lord of Honour
The nobleman I did insult
Gb
Bbm
in all a roguish manner
Give me all your gold my lord
and make no more denial
If you resist it is my design
we batter and pour to fire
I put my pistol to his breast
which made him fall to shiver
200 in right is gold
to me he did deliver
Besides a gold repeating watch,
to me he did surrender
I thought I had a noble prize
to be thus befriended
With a hundred guineas in bright gold,
I bought a famous gelding
He could jump over the turnpike gate,
I bought him off Jem Sheldon
Now mounted on the gallant seat,
I looked so bold and daring
Resolved it on the road to go,
no man I ever did fear him
The very next man I robbed it was,
it was in Covent Garden
And in two hours after,
while in Newgate, I was chastened
I have robbed both lords and dukes
of silver plate and money
All for to maintain myself
and for my dearest Polly
But now in Newgate cells
I lie until I am convicted
For my folly I now mercy crave,
Gb
Bbm
Bbm
for I am so afflicted
