Dr. Faustus - Newry Town lyrics
In Newry town I was bred and born In Steven's town I die for scorn Assigned myself to a saddler's trade And they always called me a roving blade At seventeen I took a wife I loved her dear as I loved my life And to maintain her both fine and gay A-robbing I went all on the King's highway I robbed Lord Golding I do declare I robbed Lady Manning in Grosvenor square Pulled my shutters up, I bid them goonight Carried home the silver to my wife's delight To Covent Garden I made my way All with my bride to see the play When Fielding's gang they did me pursue Taken I was by his accursed crew My father wept for his only son My wife she cried 'it's I'm undone' My mother tore her grey locks and cried I wish in his cradle that he had died Six blooming maidens to follow my pall Give them white gloves and ribbons all Six highwaymen for to carry me Give them broad swords and sweet liberty And when I'm dead and I'm bound to my grave A decent funeral it's let me have So on my grave they may speak the truth Here lies a wild and a wicked youth In Newry town I was bred and born... etc (repeat first verse) |
