Lyrics:


In Newry town, where I was bred and born
In Stephen's Green now I lie in scorn
I served my time there at the saddlers' trade
And I always was a roving blade

At seventeen I took a wife
And I loved her dearer than I loved my life
And for to keep her both neat and gay
I went a-robbing on the King's highway

I never robbed any poor man yet
Nor any tradesman did I beset
But I robbed lords and their ladies fair
And brought their jewels home to my heart's delight

To Covent Garden I made my way
With my dear wife for to see the play
Lord Fielding's men did me pursue
And taken was I by the cursed crew

My father cried, "My darling son!"
My wife she cried, "I am undone!"
My mother tore her white locks and cried
That in the cradle I should have died

When I am dead and in my grave
A flashy funeral pray let me have
Six highwaymen for to carry me
Give them broadswords and sweet liberty

Six pretty fair maids to bear my pall
Give them white garlands and ribbons all
And when I'm dead they will speak the truth
He was a wild and a wicked youth

In Newry town, where I was bred and born
In Stephen's Green now I lie in scorn
I served my time at the saddlers' trade
And I always was a roving blade
