lirik lagu peter bellamy – the ballad of henry and susannah (part 2)
so his father with a band went out when all lay sound asleep
into a house in alburgh town those desperate men did creep
young henry he went with them, having reached his nineteenth year
his part it was to stand a watch and see the coast was clear
but fortune was not with that band, kind favour passed them by
for the constables they soon did come and did raise the hue and cry
they was quickly overtaken and carried to the gaol
for to wring their hands and curse their fate until their strength did fail
it was at thetford assizes at the bar they soon did stand
and the sentence it was given that all three of them should hang
but up spoke henry’s mother, crying, “spare my only son
for his years are few, and for one crime his race should not be run”
fourteen years of transportation became henry’s punishment
and to the cells of norwich castle this young man was sent
leaving his tender mother for to tear her hair in woe
as her husband and abe carman to the gallows tree did go
