02:51Oh, I will leave my sheep out

03:18You gallant sportsmen all, come listen to me story

03:32Of the bold scoop bottle, that noble grace and phony

03:36Of a model was the man who was brought in scoop all over

03:40He's a diamond in the land, and he rose around in clover

03:44These hosts were brought out, with saddled lip and bridle

03:57And the gentlemen did shout, when they saw the bold rider

04:01And a son did shout hooray, as the airs did with curses

04:05All the greatest silver sportsmen laid out their purses

04:11Now the trumpet did sound, they shot off like an arrow

04:22And scarcely touched the ground, where the gold leaf was narrow

04:26He's held up past and by, as the gentle planted hollow

04:30The grey will win the day, the school here will follow

04:35Not really, but it's the end of the season

04:40So far, if you have a seguridad, the gold leaf was narrow

04:47And in that sense, I've been doing great

04:50And it's really great

04:52And it's really good

04:54I'm going to show you how the gold leaf is

04:54How the gold leaf is, how the gold leaf hits

04:56How the gold leaf is, how the gold leaf is open

04:58How the gold leaf is, how the gold leaf is open

05:00But halfway round the track

05:08Upspone the noble rider

05:11How dare we just fall back

05:13For she's going like a tiger

05:15Upspone the noble horse

05:17Ride on, ride on, be master

05:19We're halfway round the track

05:21And it's now you see who's faster

05:30And it's now you see who's faster

05:40So trip me over the grass

05:42And still move all through light lightning

05:44So shoot me over the grass

05:46That grey mare she was taken

05:48Ride on my noble horse

05:50For the good two hundred guineas

05:53Oh my saddle shall be a foe

05:55When we pick up our winnings

05:58Way past the winning post

06:07Who skew a hole once so handy

06:10And a horse and rider pole

06:11Call for sherry, water and grundy

06:14And here they drank to the help

06:16Of the gallant, Miss Felder

06:18And all who lost their money

06:20Of the sport is still there

06:23And here they go

06:26Let's go

06:40Let's go

06:43Let's go

12:51You must read my will right If you will lie with me this night

13:06Riddle me wheat and riddle me right Where was I on Saturday night?

13:10If water was my prison to pay I would swim for liberty

13:14If water was my prison to pay I would swim for liberty

13:19What was the boat you built for me? Down the woods and under a tree

13:24A moonlit night as I sat high I looked for one but two come back

13:28A moonlit night as I sat high I looked for one but two come back

13:33The box did down, the leaves did shake To see the hole in the fox did night

13:49The peddler cast, the peddler swore So loudly beat all at the door

13:55The peddler cast, the peddler swore So loudly beat all at the door

14:00Get your gun, you peddler man For I know you and where you're from

14:05She looked out of her window so high She spied her brothers come riding by

14:09Get your gun, you peddler man For I know you and where you're from

14:19Seven brothers came to the door So loudly they, the horn did blow

14:36Seven brothers came to the door So loudly they, the horn did blow

14:41Down on his knees the peddler fell For mercy's dear, he shouted more

14:45All night long a grave I made All day long in wait I laid

14:50All night long a grave I made All day long in wait I laid

14:54The lady laughed, the lady sang As to the woods the peddler ran

14:59Around his heels the hounds they ran As round his head the bullets rang

15:03Round his heels the hounds they ran As round his head the bullets rang

15:08The box did bend, the leaves did shake To hear the cries the fox did lay

15:15The box did bend, the leaves did shake To hear the cries the fox did lay

15:27I know you and where you're from

15:40Where have you been all day?

16:45Isn't she a young thing, Lickin' from Romeo?

16:55Did she ask you to sit down, Pony Boy, Billy Boy?

17:01Did she ask you to sit down, Oh my dear darling Billy, oh

17:06Well she asked me to sit down, Then she cuts her to the ground

19:44The fact is steering all the flock

19:46King Henry is slain

19:49King Henry VIII, the banners and dogs drank all the blood

20:02They lay down, they fall asleep

20:05Asleep as though they were dead

20:07It fell about the midnight hour

20:10When all men lay asleep

20:12Around the house, the very trees

20:15The very trees did weep

20:18Dread shaking shut the house

20:35Great shaking shut the house

20:48Shaking split the door

20:50The foulest woman the dead there was

20:52Come a-tapping on the floor

20:54Her head hit the roof of the hunting lodge

20:57A waste you could hardly stand

20:59If a foul a woman lived
