Lyrics
In Rockley Firs where I was sought I thought that night I should have been caught The moon shone bright, and the stars gave light And from them all I ran away I went to the tavern on Saturday night And called for a bottle, likewise a pipe And a special warrant it was brought in And taken I was in Cole's kitchen I slept at Cole's all that long night Mark Hanks came in before it was light And he said, “Young man, you must away To Marlborough gaol, this very day” I mounted a gig in Marlborough town And off to Salisbury I was bound In irons so strong they bound my hands And I was forced to go at their command My trial is over, I am got free I am not transported as you all may see 'Twas in a dark cell where I did lie Where locks and bolts like bullets did fly Now Salisbury assizes was over and past All call for a brandy all in a strong glass But the hares and the pheasant shall never go free For poaching is the life for me
