Turpin Hero
(traditional [Roud 621], arrang. J. Ferguson, 2024)
Capo @ 2
V1.
Am
On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er
Am
I spied a lawyer ridin’ before.
C
"Kind Sir,” says I, “ain’t you afraid
Am G
of Turpin, that mischievous blade?"
Chorus:
Am G
Oh, rare Turpin hero!
Am G Am
Oh, rare Turpin, oh!
V2.
“Turpin ne’er would find my loot.
I hid my money in my boot."
Lawyer says, "No one can find.
I hid my gold in my cape behind."
V3.
As they was riding past the mill,
Turpin commands him to stand still.
He says, "Your cloak I must cut off.
My mare, she needs a saddle cloth."
V4.
As Turpin rode in search of prey
he met an exciseman on the way.
And boldly then bid him stand.
"Your gold," he said, "I do demand!"
V5.
Turpin then without remorse
knocked him quite from off his horse
and left him on the ground to sprawl
while he rode off with his gold and all.
V6.
As Turpin rode on Salisbury plain
he met Lord Judge with all his train;
and hero-like he did approach
and robbed that Judge within his coach.
V7.
Oh, Turpin he at last was took
for the shooting of a dung-hill cock.
And carried straight into a jail
where his ill luck he does bewail.
V8.
Now, Turpin is condemned to die,
to hang upon yon gallows high.
His legacy is a strong rope
for the shooting of a dung-hill cock.

    Love this song. Living in England, I've practically walked Mr Turpin's footsteps, been in his old pub, his prison cell, seen his excecution site and his grave. Every time i'm near something Turpin related, i think of this song.

    The best rendition of this song by miles, and I've done lots of searching. The rhythm from your guitar is more foot stomping than other versions can accomplish with a full band. And a fantastic voice, reminiscent of Stan Rogers. Thank you for sharing! Id love to hear an updated HD version

    My mother told me the story: she and my father, newly married, and like many of their fellow Scots in that era emigrated to Canada in 1957 by ship. A pipe band played this song on the dock in Glasgow, and "everyone was in floods of tears". Your lovely rendition and wonderful voice brought that memory to life.
