Turpin Hero

• Dm

Intro: Dm

      Dm             C
On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er
    Dm              C
I spied a lawyer riding before
      F                  C
Kind Sir says he Aren't you afraid
      Dm            C
Of Turpin that mischievous blade

 Dm       C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm        C     Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh


      Dm                  C
Said Turpin he'll never find me out
     Dm               C
I'll hid him my money in my boot
F                  C
Oh said the lawyer he'll never find me gold
Dm            C
For it's stitched in my cape behind


 Dm       C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm        C     Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh


      Dm             C
As they rode down by the powder mill
Dm              C
Turpin commands him to be still
F                  C
He said Your cape I must cut off
Dm            C
For my mare she needs a saddle cloth


 Dm       C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm        C     Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh


      Dm             C
As turpin rode in search of prey
Dm              C
He met an excise man on his way
F                  C
And boldly he did bid him stand
Dm            C
Gold he said I do demand


 Dm       C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm        C     Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh


      Dm             C
And Turpin quite without remorse
Dm              C
Soon knocked him quite from off his horse
F                  C
And left him on the ground to spall
Dm            C
Rode off with his gold and all


 Dm       C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm        C     Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh

Dm             C
Now Turpin is condemned to die
Dm              C
To hang upon the gallows high
F                  C
His legacy is a strong rope
Dm            C
For the shooting of a dung-hill cock (in other versions: Turpin hero there's no hope)

 Dm       C
Oh rare Turpin hero
Dm        C     Dm
Oh rare Turpin oh
