Dm Am - F
On Hounslow Heath as I rode on
Dm Am - F
I spied a lawyer riding before
F
"Kind sir, you afraid
Dm C
Of Turpin that mischievous blade?"
Dm C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh
Dm
Dm Am - F
Said Turpin, "He'll never find me here
Dm Am - F
I've hid my money in my boot"
F
The lawyer says, "No one can find
Dm C
I hid my gold in my cape behind"
Dm C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh
Dm Am - F
As they were riding past the mill
Dm Am - F
Turpin commands him to stand still;
F
Says he, "Your cloak I must cut off,
Dm C
My mare she needs a saddle cloth"
Dm C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh
Dm
Dm Am - F
As Turpin rode in search of prey
Dm Am - F
He speed a man and tax the way;
F
And boldly then he bid him stand,
Dm C
"Your gold," he said, "I do demand"
Dm C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh
Dm
Dm Am - F
Oh Turpin then without remorse,
Dm Am - F
He knocked him quite from off his horse;
F
And left him on the ground to sprawl
Dm C
While he rode off with his gold and all.
Dm C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh
Dm
(strumming once for each chord)
Dm Am - F
Well Turpin is condemned to die,
Dm F
To hang upon yon gallows high;
F
Whose legacy is a strong rope,
F C
For the shooting of a dung-hill cock
Dm C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh
Dm C
Oh rahr Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rahr Turpin oh
Dm C
Oh rahr Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rahr Turpin oh
Dm C
Oh rahr Turpin hero
Dm C Dm
Oh rahr Turpin oh oh oh
