lirik lagu the johnstons - the newry highwayman
in newry town i was bred and born
in steven’s green now i’ll die in scorn
i served my time to the saddling trade
but i turned out to be, i turned out to be a roving blade
at seventeen i took a wife
i loved her dearly as i love life
and for to keep both fine and g~y
i took to robbing, i took to robbing on the king’s highway
i never robbed any poor man yet
nor any tradesman has cause to fret
i rob the lords and their ladies bright
i take their jewels, i take their jewеls to my heart’s delight
to covent gardеn i make my way
with my dear wife for to see the play
lord fielding’s corps they did me pursue
and i was taken, i was taken by that cursed crew
my father cried, “oh, my darling son”
my wife she wept and said, “i’m undone”
my mother tore her white locks and cried
“’twas in the cradle, ’twas in the cradle that he should have died.”
and when i’m dead and in my grave
a flashy funeral pray let me have
with six bold highwaymen to carry me
give them good broadswords, good broadswords and liberty
six pretty maidens to bear my pall
give them white ribbons and garlands all
for when i’m dead, aye they’ll speak the truth
he was a wild and a wicked youth
