: the day light moon looked quietly down
: through the gathring dusk on london town
: a smock frocked yokel hobbled along
: by new gate humming a country song
: chewing a straw he stood to starr
: at the proclaimation posted there

: two hundred guines on turpins head
: trap him alive or shoot him dead
: and a hundrec more for his mate tom king

: he crouched like a tiger about spring
: then he looked up and he looked down
: and chuckleing low like a country clown
: dck turpin pain fully hobbled away
: in search of his inn the load of hay
: alone in her stall his mare black bess
: lifted her head in mute distress
: for 5 strange men had entered the yard
: and looked at her long and looked at her hard

: they went out muttering under thier breath
: and then the dusk grew still as death
: but the velvet ears of the listening mare
: lifed and twitched they were there still ther
: hidden in waiting for whom and why
: the clock struck 4 a step drew nigh

: it was king tom king dck turpins mate
: the black mare whinneyed too late too late
: they rose like shadows out of the ground
: grappled him there with out a sound
: throuttle him quietly choke him dead
: or we lose the hawk for a jay they said
: they wrestled and heaved 5 men to one
: and a yokel entered the yard alone
: a smock frokt yokel hobbleing slow
: but a fight is physic as all men know
: his age dropped off he stood up right
: he lept like a tiger into the fight

: hand in hand they fought in the dark
: for no one could fire at a twisting mark
: for he that shoot at a foe may send
: his pistol ball threw the skull of a friend
: but shoot dck shoot gasped out tom king
: shoot or dame it we both shall swing

: dck lept back he drew he fired
: at the pistols crack
: the wrestlers whirled they scattered apart
: and the bullet drilled threw tom kings heart

: dck turpin droped his smoking gun they had trpped him now 5 men to 1
: a gun in each hand of the crouchin 5 they could take dck turpin now alive........

take him and bind him and tell their tale
as a pothouse boast when they drank their ale
he whistled soft as a bird might call
a headrope snapped in his birds dark stall
he whistled soft as a knightingale
he heard he swish of her swinging tale

the 5 men laughed at him trapped alive
and the door crased open behind the 5
out of her stable a wave of thunder
swept black bess and the 5 went under

he lept to th saddle a hoof spurned stone flashed blue fire....and their prise was gone.


PHEW i gotta take a break after all that!!! please let me know if you get this and see ya
