the saucy bold robber - roy harris lyrics
come all you good people that goes out a*tippling
i pray give attention and hark to me song
i’ll tell you all a story of a jolly bold robber
he stood seven feet high, and in proportion quite strong
well he robbed lawyer morgan and old lady dawkings
five hundred bright guineas from each one of them;
and as he was patrollin’ a sailor come a*strollin’
and bold as a lion he slewed up to him
“hand over your money, mean gallant young sailor
there’s plenty of bulk in your pocket i know.”
“aye aye,” said the sailor, “i’ve got a bit of money
but i’m d*mned if i see why i should give it to you.”
“i’ve just left me ship, gave the press gang the slip
and i’m off up to london my sweetheart to see
seven shiny sovereigns will pay our sweet lodgings
well i pray you jolly robber, please leave it to me.”
but the robber caught hold of that gallant young sailor
with a blow like a pick*axe knocked him to the ground
“oh aye,” said the sailor, “you’ve hit me quite heavy
but now i’ll endeavour to repay you in kind.”
it was then boys they stripped and like tigers they skipped
and they fought blow for blow like soldiers in the field
but the ninety*seventh meeting it was their completing
for the saucy bold robber boy the sailor was k!lled
and the sailor looked at that blood*stained old robber
“i hope you’ll forgive me, dear fellow,” says he
“but if i had just lifted one thousand bright guineas
well i’m d*mned if i’d have stopped a poor sailor like me.”
