                  Dm   Am- F  
On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er
                  Dm   Am- F  
I spied a lawyer riding before
F"Kind sir,  are you afraid
DmOf Turpin, that misCchievous blade?"
DmOh rare Turpin Chero
DmOh rare TurCpin oDmh
Dm
                  Dm   Am- F  
Said Turpin, "He'd never find me here 
                  Dm   Am- F  
I hid my money in my boot"
FThe lawyer says, "No one can find
DmI hid my gold in my capCe behind"
DmOh rare TurpCin hero
DmOh rare TurCpin oDmh
                  Dm   Am- F  
As they were riding past the mill
                  Dm   Am- F  
Turpin commands him to stand still;
FSays, "Your cloak I must cut off,
DmMy mare she needs a saddCle cloth"
DmOh rare Turpin Chero

Dm
                  Dm   Am- F  
As Turpin rode in search of prey
                  Dm   Am- F  
He spied a man on taxway;
FAnd boldly then he bid him stand,
Dm"Your gold," he said, "I Cdo demand"

                  Dm   Am- F  
Oh Turpin then without remorse,
                  Dm   Am- F

DmWhile he rode off with his golCd and all.
