Two of us knelt at her casement with muskets at our side!
Not until dawn i heard it, my face grew grey to hear, Back we spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky.
Be gagged his daughter ato the foot of her narrow bed
for i could see the road that he would ride
There was death at every windowand hell at one dark window
Tom the Ostler listen to the robber say
* I'll come to thee by moonlight though hell should bar the way.

A RED COAT TROOP CAME MARCHING UP TO THE OLD IN DOOR!?
We drank his ale instead
The highwayman came riding up to the old in door.Hed a French cocked hat on his forehead, a coat of the claret velvet, They fitted with never a wrinkle; his boots were up to the thigh.His rapier hilt a twinkle, under the jewelled sky.
“one kiss my bonny sweetheart, I am after a prize to-night, But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light; Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day, then look for me by moonlight, *
When The road was a gypsy ribbon looping the purple moor.
