Turpin Hero (From "Turn")
guitar chords lyrics
On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er
I spied a lawyer riding before.
"Kind sir are you afraid,
Of Turpin, that mischievous blade?"
O rare Turpin hero,
O rare Turpin O
Said Turpin, "He'd ne'er find me here
I hid my money in my boot."
The lawyer says, "There's none can find,
I hid my gold in my cape behind."
O rare Turpin hero,
O rare Turpin O
As they were riding past the mill
Turpin commands him to stand still;
Says, "Your cloak I must cut off,
As they were riding past the mill
Turpin commands him to stand still;
Says, "Your cloak I must cut off,
My mare she needs a saddle cloth."
O rare Turpin hero,
O rare Turpin O
As Turpin rode in search of prey
He spied a man on taxway;
And boldly then he bid him stand,
"Your gold," he said, "I do demand."
O rare Turpin hero,
O rare Turpin O
Oh Turpin then without remorse,
He knocked him quite from off his horse;
And left him on the ground to sprawl
While he rode off with his gold and all.
O rare Turpin hero,
O rare Turpin O
Well Turpin is condemned to die,
To hang upon yon gallows high;
Whose legacy is a strong rope,
For the shooting of a dung-hill cock.
O rare Turpin hero,
O rare Turpin O
