The Deserter (逃兵) (Rehearsal Version) - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)[00:00:00]

As I was a-walking along Radcliffe Highway[00:00:24]

A recruiting party came a-beating my way[00:00:33]

They enlisted me and treated me 'til I did not know[00:00:41]

And to the Queen's barracks they forced me to go[00:00:50]

When first I deserted I thought myself free[00:01:05]

Until my cruel comrade informed against me[00:01:13]

I was quickly followed after and brought back with speed[00:01:21]

I was handcuffed and guarded heavy irons put on me[00:01:30]

Court martial court martial they held upon me[00:01:44]

And the sentence passed upon me three-hundred-and-three[00:01:53]

May the Lord have mercy on them for their sad cruelty[00:02:02]

For now the Queen's duty lies heavy on me[00:02:11]

When next I deserted I thought myself free[00:02:25]

Until my cruel sweetheart informed against me[00:02:34]

I was quickly followed after and brought back with speed[00:02:42]

I was handcuffed and guarded heavy irons put on me[00:02:50]

Court martial court martial then quickly was got[00:03:04]

And the sentence passed upon me that I was to be shot[00:03:12]

May the Lord have mercy on them for their sad cruelty[00:03:23]

For now the Queen's duty lies heavy on me[00:03:31]

Then up rode Prince Albert in his carriage-and-six[00:03:41]

Saying where is that young man whose coffin it is fixed[00:03:50]

Set him free from his irons and let him go free[00:04:00]

For he'll make a good soldier for his Queen and country[00:04:09]
