Debra Cowan - Salisbury Plain Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • As I walked over Salisbury Plain
  • There I met a scamping young blade
  • He kissed me and enticed me so
  • 'Til along with him I was forced for to go
  • We came upon an inn at last
  • There for man and wife we did pass
  • He called for ale, wine and strong beer
  • 'Til at length we both to bed did repair
  • “Undress yourself, my darling,” says he
  • “Undress yourself, and come sleep with me”
  • “Yes, I will,” then says she
  • “If you will keep all those flash girls away.”
  • “Those flash girls you say you need not fear
  • For you'll be safely guarded, my dear
  • I'll maintain you a lady so gay
  • For I'll go a-robbing on the highway”
  • Early next morning my love he arose
  • So nimbly he put on his clothes
  • Straight to the highway he did set sail
  • And 'twas there he robbed the coach of the mail
  • It's now my love in Newgate Jail do lie
  • Waiting each moment for to die
  • The Lord have mercy on his poor soul
  • For I think I hear the death-bell do toll
