The Ballad of Rory Starp
The mystery of the darkness
On the lonely track
The wheels go round for ever
The coachman wont look back
They chanced upon a turnpike
Saw the robbers steed
With half a dozen footpads
Might satisfy their greed
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
With glints of steel and fire in his eyes
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
Rory takes his victims by surprise
There was no fair assistance
The travellers cried in vain
Back in London Town
Watchman earned their name
The highwayman left laughing
Another ill gained night
A story for the sheriff
A man has lost his life
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
With glints of steel and fire in his eyes
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
Rory takes his victims by surprise
Twenty six days later
The outlaws tried again
But a twist lay in the carriage
It housed the sheriffs men
The rains fell down in anger
The flintlocks powder damned
Rory fell to musket fire
The gallows he ll never stand
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
With glints of steel and fire in his eyes
Break out Break Out
Sixteen string might meet you
Rory Starp the devil in disguise
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
With glints of steel and fire in his eyes
Break out Break Out
Sixteen string might meet you
Rory Starp the devil in disguise
On the lonely track
The wheels go round for ever
The coachman wont look back
They chanced upon a turnpike
Saw the robbers steed
With half a dozen footpads
Might satisfy their greed
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
With glints of steel and fire in his eyes
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
Rory takes his victims by surprise
There was no fair assistance
The travellers cried in vain
Back in London Town
Watchman earned their name
The highwayman left laughing
Another ill gained night
A story for the sheriff
A man has lost his life
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
With glints of steel and fire in his eyes
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
Rory takes his victims by surprise
Twenty six days later
The outlaws tried again
But a twist lay in the carriage
It housed the sheriffs men
The rains fell down in anger
The flintlocks powder damned
Rory fell to musket fire
The gallows he ll never stand
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
With glints of steel and fire in his eyes
Break out Break Out
Sixteen string might meet you
Rory Starp the devil in disguise
Break out Break Out
The devils come to greet you
With glints of steel and fire in his eyes
Break out Break Out
Sixteen string might meet you
Rory Starp the devil in disguise
