On Hounslow Heath as I rode on I spied a lawyer riding before "Kind sir," said I, "Aren't you afraid Of Turpin that mischievous blade?" Oh rare Turpin hero Oh rare Turpin oh
Said Turpin, "He'll ne'er find me out I've hid my money in my boot" The lawyer said, "There's none can find I hid my gold in my cape behind" Oh rare Turpin hero Oh rare Turpin oh
As they were riding past the mill Turpin commands him to stand still Says, "Here your coat I must get off My mare needs a saddle cloth" Oh rare Turpin hero Oh rare Turpin oh
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 Oh rare Turpin hero Oh rare Turpin oh
