Salisbury Plain
As I walked over Salisbury Plain
There I met a scamping young blade
He kissed me and enticed me so
'Til along with him I was forced for to go
We came upon an inn at last
There for man and wife we did pass
He called for ale, wine and strong beer
'Til at length we both to bed did repair
"Undress yourself, my darling," says he
"Undress yourself, and come sleep with me"
"Yes, I will," then says she
"If you will keep all those flash girls away."
"Those flash girls you say you need not fear
For you'll be safely guarded, my dear
I'll maintain you a lady so gay
For I'll go a-robbing on the highway"
Early next morning my love he arose
So nimbly he put on his clothes
Straight to the highway he did set sail
And 'twas there he robbed the coach of the mail
It's now my love in Newgate Jail do lie
Waiting each moment for to die
The Lord have mercy on his poor soul
For I think I hear the death-bell do toll
There I met a scamping young blade
He kissed me and enticed me so
'Til along with him I was forced for to go
We came upon an inn at last
There for man and wife we did pass
He called for ale, wine and strong beer
'Til at length we both to bed did repair
"Undress yourself, my darling," says he
"Undress yourself, and come sleep with me"
"Yes, I will," then says she
"If you will keep all those flash girls away."
"Those flash girls you say you need not fear
For you'll be safely guarded, my dear
I'll maintain you a lady so gay
For I'll go a-robbing on the highway"
Early next morning my love he arose
So nimbly he put on his clothes
Straight to the highway he did set sail
And 'twas there he robbed the coach of the mail
It's now my love in Newgate Jail do lie
Waiting each moment for to die
The Lord have mercy on his poor soul
For I think I hear the death-bell do toll
