Full Lyrics

Bold Turpin vance, on Hounslow Heath, His black mare Bess bestrodeer; Ven there he see'd the Bishop's coach Acoming along the roader. So he gallops close to the orse's legs. And he claps his head vithin; And the Bishop says, "Sure as eggs is eggs, This here's the bold Turpin." Says Turpin, "You shall eat you words, With a sarse of leaden bullet;" So he puts a pistol to his mouth, And he fires it down his gullet. The coachman he not likin' the job, Set off at a full gallop, But Dick put a couple of balls in his nob, And pervailed on him to stop.
