Turpin Hero - Shirley Collins

On hounslow heath as I rode o'er

I spied a lawyer riding before

Kind Sir

Said I

Are you afraid

Of turpin

That mischievous blade

O rare turpin hero

O rare turpin o

Said turpin

He'd ne'er find me o'er

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 he

Your cloak I must cut off

My mare she needs a saddle cloth

O rare turpin hero

O rare turpin o

This caused the lawyer much to fret

To see how simply he'd been took

But turpin robbed him of his store

Because he knew he'd lie for more

O rare turpin hero

O rare turpin o
