• Salisbury Plain

As I road over Salisbury Plain
It was 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 into a public house at last
And there for man and wife we did pass
He called for strong ale, wine and beer
'Til at length to bed we both did repair

“Undress yourself, my darling,” says he
“Undress yourself, and come to bed with me”
“Indeed, that I will,” then said she
“If you’ll keep all, then flash goes away”

“Oh, when flash goes, you need not fear
For you'll be safe and guarded, my dear
I'll maintain you like so lady gay
For I'll go a-robbing on the king’s highway”

So, early next morning my true love arose
And so nimbly he put on his clothes
Straight way for the highway he set sail
And it’s there he robbed the coaches of the mail

And now my love in Newgate Jail do lie
Expecting every moment for to die
May the Lord have mercy on his poor soul
But I think I hear the death-bell for two tombs
