The Newry Highwayman - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

In Newry Town I was bred and born[00:00:02]

In Steven's Green now I'll die in scorn [00:00:07]

I served my time to the saddling trade[00:00:15]

But I turned out to be I turned out to be a roving blade [00:00:20]

At seventeen I took a wife[00:00:27]

I loved her dearly as I love life[00:00:34]

And for to keep both fine and gay[00:00:40]

I took to robbing I took to robbing on the King's highway [00:00:47]

I never robbed any poor man yet[00:00:54]

Nor any tradesman has cause to fret[00:01:01]

I rob the lords and their ladies bright[00:01:07]

I take their jewels I take their jewels to my heart's delight [00:01:14]

To Covent Garden I make my way[00:01:22]

With my dear wife for to see the play[00:01:28]

Lord Fielding's corps they did me pursue[00:01:34]

And I was taken I was taken by that cursed crew [00:01:41]

My father cried Oh my darling son[00:01:49]

My wife she wept and said ""I'm undone[00:01:55]

My mother tore her white locks and cried [00:02:02]

Twas in the cradle 'twas in the cradle that he should have died [00:02:08]

And when I'm dead and in my grave[00:02:16]

A flashy funeral pray let me have[00:02:22]

With six bold highwaymen to carry me[00:02:29]

Give them good broadswords good broadswords and liberty [00:02:35]

Six pretty maidens to bear my pall[00:02:43]

Give them white ribbons and garlands all[00:02:50]

For when I'm dead aye they'll speak the truth[00:02:56]

He was a wild and a wicked youth [00:03:03]

In Newry Town I was bred and born[00:03:11]

In Steven's Green now I'll die in scorn [00:03:17]

I served my time to the saddling trade[00:03:24]

And all garlands [00:03:29]

I turned out to be a roving blade[00:03:34]
