Turpin Hero - Jake Bugg

On Hounslow Heath as I rode o’er

I spied a lawyer riding before

Kind Sir you afraid of Turpin

That mischievous blade?

Oh rare Turpin hero

Oh rare Turpin oh

Said Turpin he’d never find me here

I hid my money in my boot

The lawyer says no one can find

I hid my gold in my cape behind

Oh rare Turpin hero

Oh rare Turpin oh

As they were riding past the mill

Turpin commands him to stand still

He says your cloak I must cut off

My mare she needs a saddle cloth

Oh rare Turpin hero

Oh rare Turpin oh

As turpin rode in search of prey

He spied a man on taxiway

And boldly then bid him stand

Your gold he said I do demand

Oh rare Turpin hero

Oh rare Turpin oh

And Turpin even without remorse

Soon knocked him quite from off his horse

And left him on the ground to spall

While he rode off with his gold and all

Oh rare Turpin hero

Oh rare Turpin oh

Now Turpin is condemned to die

To hang upon the gallows high

His legacy is a strong rope

For the shooting of a dung-hill cock

Oh rare Turpin hero

Oh rare Turpin oh

Oh rare Turpin hero

Oh rare Turpin oh

Oh rare Turpin hero

Oh rare Turpin oh
