[Verse 1]
[Am]Now in Errytown I [Dm]was [Em]bred and born,
[Am]In Steven[Dm]stown [Am]I die[Em]d for scorn,
[Am]I signed mysel[Dm]f to a sad[Am]dler's trade,
[Eb]And they al[Am]ways called
me [Em]a roving blade.
[Am]For [E]a se[Am]venteen I to[Em]ok a wife,
[Am]I love[Em]d her as dear as I loved my life,
[Am]And to maint[Em]ain a bull[Dm] fine and [Am]gay,[Em]
[E]A robb[Em]in' I w[Am]ent u[Em]pon
the king's [E]highway.
[Em]I ro[Am]bbed Lor[C]d Golden,
[Em]I do declare.
[Dm]I robbed Lady Men[Em]ant,
[Dm]was in Gov[Am]ernor's Square,
[Em]
[Am]Puttin' the shetters up,
I wished them [Dm]good night.
[Em]Carried home[Am] their gold
[Em]to my heart's delight.
[Am]To Covenant Ga[Em]r de[F#]ns I [E]made my way,
[Em]All for my bride to se[Am]e th[Em]e grand play,
When Phelan's gang they
did me pursue,
[Am]Taken I was by [Eb]that accursed [Em]crew.
My [E]father [Am]wept for h[Em]is only son
My [Am]wife [F]she cried [Am]it's I am undone
My mother she [Dm]tore [F]her
[Am]grey locks and cried
[Em]I wi[Am]sh in his cradle tha[Eb]t he[Em] had died
[E]Six [Am]bloomin' maid[F#]ens
[Em]to f[E]ollow my pole,
[Am]Give them white [F]gloves
[Em]and each ribbon's [Am]all,
Six highway[F]men [Em]for to carry [Am]me,
[Em]Give [Am]them broad swords
[F#]and sweet [Em]liberty.[E]
[Em]Now [E]when[Am] I'm dea[Em]d
and gone to my grave,
a [Am]decent funeral it's let m[Em]e have,
so [Dm]when I'm in my grave
[Am]they may speak the truth,
[Eb]there lies a wild [Am]and a wicked youth.
