Hirem Pawnitof/Fairies' Hornpipe LP Version - The Incredible String Band[00:00:00]

It's of a famous highwayman a story I will tell[00:00:34]

His name was Hirem Pawnitof in bread street he did dwell[00:00:38]

Through all the storms of his career few troubles he had missed[00:00:42]

His tale was wrote from ear to ear and he looked like this:[00:00:46]

Throughout the land his gallant band in many a song did star[00:01:06]

With Biceps dead and Pretty Boy fled and Boothill claimed Bill Star[00:01:10]

Though the best are gone he still rides from Leeds to Carter Bar[00:01:14]

Weedy and few his motley crew[00:01:18]

And here they are:[00:01:22]

His purse was lined with empty air his wherewithall was low[00:01:38]

The last good swag to pad his lag was 40 years ago[00:01:43]

His motley band were out of hand their breakfast they had missed[00:01:47]

Then travellers two hove into view[00:01:51]

And he challenged them like this [00:01:55]

The stranger turned to his lady fair[00:02:11]

A smile played on his lips[00:02:14]

What's the deal are they for real[00:02:16]

They've been taking too many trips[00:02:18]

No gold need we we travel free here's something we won't miss[00:02:20]

A treasure map from Gabby the Flap[00:02:24]

And he gave it him like this:[00:02:27]

His glasses perched upon his nose the map he carefully sussed[00:02:43]

Each robber's eye filled with surprise there's gold in it for us[00:02:47]

The strangers waved the band goodbye but they did not see them go[00:02:51]

Hirem got his compass out said follow me lads Westard Ho[00:02:55]

Then had not gone but 20 yards when a pieman they did spy[00:03:15]

They smacked their lips with hunger keen - my kingdom for a pie[00:03:19]

The peddlar twinkled once or twice[00:03:23]

Not one word did he say[00:03:25]

With snake-like eyes he shouted 'pie'[00:03:27]

And he struck him on the head with the tray[00:03:32]

At that moment Hirem Pawnitof attained enlightenment [00:03:37]

Come on said Hirem laughing much[00:03:52]

Let's see what's down this road[00:03:54]

His troop were dropping wearily stooping[00:03:56]

Men of no fixed a bode[00:03:58]

Just then a milkmaid Hirem spied[00:04:00]

Their hearts were filled with bliss[00:04:03]

Like long lost friends who meet again[00:04:05]

They fondly kissed like this[00:04:09]

I need a man around the place[00:04:35]

The milkmaid breathed with charm[00:04:38]

And Hirem twirled his long mustache and took her by the arm[00:04:40]

The last we heard they all lived there[00:04:44]

Doing what the law allows[00:04:46]

They all ate breakfast every day happily growing cows [00:04:48]
