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 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 co*k O rare Turpin hero O rare Turpin O
