the humane turnkey (part 1) - peter bellamy lyrics

Loading...

“come rise you up, john simpson,” the governor did say
“these scum are chained and ready, and it’s time you was away
three woman and a farthing child, to plymouth they are bound
and you must be their escort till they reach that distant town”

when me and these poor convicts did arrive at plymouth strand
i marched them up onto the deck all chained hand to hand
the captain saw us come aboard and he did prove unkind
“the women come,” he did declare, “but the infant stays behind”

this proud unfeeling seaman, captain gilbert was his name
oh, to see a babе abandoned so, i swore it was a shame
i wrappеd it up in my great*coat, to the coach i went straight’way
and i started out for london town without no more delay
