Lyrics:

On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er

I spied a lawyer riding before.

"Kind sir," said I, "are you afraid,

Of Turpin, that mischievous blade?"

O rare Turpin hero,

O rare Turpin O

Said Turpin, "He'd ne'er find me o'er

I hid my money in my boot"

The lawyer says, "There's none can find,

I hid my gold in my cape behind."

O rare Turpin hero,

O rare Turpin O

As they were riding past the mill

Turpin commands him to stand still;

Says he, "Your cloak I must cut off,

My mare she needs a saddle cloth."

O rare Turpin hero,

O rare Turpin O

This caused the lawyer much to fret

To see how simply he'd been took,

But Turpin robbed him of his store

Because he knew he'd lie for more.

O rare Turpin hero,

O rare Turpin O
