Two Butchers - Steeleye Span[00:00:01]
It’s of two noble butchers as i have heard men say[00:00:08]
Started out from london all on a market day[00:00:13]
And as they were a-riding as fast as they could ride[00:00:17]
Oh stop your horse says johnson for hear i some woman cry[00:00:23]
will I not stop says wilson i will not stop says he[00:00:28]
I will not stop says wilson for robbed we shall be[00:00:33]
Johnson he got off his horse searched the woods all ‘round[00:00:37]
And there he spied a woman with her hair pinned to the ground[00:00:43]
How came you here dear woman how came you here fast bound[00:00:49]
How came here you this morning with your hair pinned to the ground[00:00:53]
They robbed me they stripped me they left me here fast bound[00:00:57]
They left me here this morning with me hair pinned to the ground[00:01:03]
May god keep all good people[00:01:11]
May god keep all good people[00:01:15]
May god keep all good people from such bad company[00:01:19]
Then johnson he being a valiant man and a man of courage bold[00:01:32]
He took his coat from off his back to keep her from the cold[00:01:36]
And as they were a-riding as fast as they could ride[00:01:41]
She put a whistle to her mouth and she gave three shivering cries[00:01:46]
Up jumped three bold and swaggering men with swords all in their hands[00:01:52]
Who then commanded johnson commanded him to stand[00:01:56]
I’ll stop i’ll stand says johnson as long as i can stand[00:02:00]
For never was i in all me life afraid of any man[00:02:06]
May god keep all good people[00:02:14]
May god keep all good people[00:02:18]
May god keep all good people from such bad company[00:02:22]
Oh two of them he quickly slew and the third he did not mind[00:02:44]
Til the false young woman took a knife and stabbed him from behind[00:02:48]
Poor johnson he spun round about and he fell down to the ground[00:02:53]
And he cursed that wretched woman who gave him his death-wound[00:02:58]
Now the day it being a market-day there were people traveling by[00:03:04]
Who saw the awful murder who saw poor johnson die[00:03:08]
Now johnson he was a valiant man and a valiant man was he[00:03:12]
May god keep all good people from such companybad [00:03:17]
May god keep all good people[00:03:25]
May god keep all good people[00:03:30]
May god keep all good people from such bad company[00:03:34]
