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.

Canadian folk singer Jesse Ferguson performs traditional British ballad "The Two Magicians" (Child 44, Roud 1350). Chords and lyrics below.

Great song, beautifully performed!!
Thanks!
Superb!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wonderful!
Hey.... I once knew a guy..... You look like him...... He wasn't either!
Okay I’ll replay Assassins Creed Black Flag
Love your songs and „follow“ your channel since 2008… It’s always a pleasure to here something new from you 🤗
Thanks for sticking with me, Uta!
Beautiful voice!
Fantastic!
Awesome
Jesse, it’s always a happy day when I find a new video you’ve posted! You’ve taken my favorite musical genre and elevated it to new heights of beauty and brilliance! Thanks, and please keep it coming!❤️🙏🏻
Wow, thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
this is amazinggg!!!!!
brilliant!
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.
Great voice! But when you took the mandoline I was sure - love to hear more!!
2:22 that's like getting Al Capone for tax evasion or a druglord for a traffic violation Only ever break one law at a time
Always amazing stuff. Such a powerful voice. Great storytelling through song.
Thanks!
Jesse I'm always going to love your songs. You have one of the finest voices I've ever heard and you sing the Celtic/Folk music that I love. This one however, is particularly excellent.
Thanks for sticking with me after all these years!
@@BardofCornwall It's been my pleasure.
first
I don't think so.
❤
Thank you Jess for sharing
Hi
Brother, you are a modern Stan Rodgers born in an era too sick to be deserving of folk music. Keep doing what you do.
Wow, thank you!
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
Thanks, Samwise. I have a studio version posted here on CZcams, from one of my albums.
Still goes ham after thirteen years, brother.
0:45 eyebrows for the win
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.
Thanks, Ian. It's pretty amazing that this music can bring the generations together.
You have a very full voice, very beautiful 😂
Thanks, Matthias!
Awesome! I absolutely love old sea shanties especially those from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
Same here!
How did the mermaid know?
Still my favorite cover of this song. Thank you!!!
Thanks, Jarred!
@@BardofCornwall Sir, many of your songs are my favorite covers. Thank you!!
I like the Dubliners version.
Yes, Luke Kelly singing it is my favourite version.
Awesome, man. :)
Hey, thanks!
You are my role model
Thanks for the support!
You are funny
This brings me peace and tears to my eyes. Your rendition is perfect. I am not Irish or Scottish. X
Underrated just as Stan was
True Americana West handled with respect! Well done! Seldom is heard are the verses past the first! Very much enjoyed.
Very well done, sounds amazing, a timeless song and message!
You ar
16 years late, i found this video. epic version of a classic. thankyou🙏🏻
Dude thanks for your video, your voice is very soothing.
I appreciate that!
How you manage to keep your nerve and sing so beautifully through such poignant and deeply troubled lyrics and music is beyond me. Such composure. Sublime. Thank you
Thanks, Lauren. There are three or so songs that sometimes bring a tear to my eye as I sing them, and this is one of them.
I am from Pakistan 😢
Thanks for stopping by my channel!
I liked your way of singing the twist of your voice... Nice 🎉
I am so glad to run into the Bard of Cornwall again!!! Beautiful job!
Yes! Thank you!
This cover makes me so happy. It's my favourite version of this song, it's so pretty. You did a wonderful job with this, it inspires peace. ( ◜‿◝ )♡
Thanks for the support!
How I got my husband
Two-thousand likes is far too little
Thank you, Jesse! An excellent rendition of one of my favorites! Sooo Celtic, magical, and wonderful!
My pleasure!
Yes, excellent!!!
