coope, boyes and simpson - rufford park poachers lyrics

[verse]
a buck or doe, believe it so, a pheasant or a hare
were set on earth for everyone quite equally to share
so poacher bold, as i unfold, keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold that night in rufford park

[verse]
they say that forty gallant poachers, they were in distress
they’d often been attacked when their number it was less
so poacher bold, as i unfold, keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold that night in rufford park
[verse]
among the gorse, to settle scores, those forty gathered stones
to make a fight for poor men’s rights and break the keepers’ bones
so poacher bold, as i unfold, keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold that night in rufford park

[verse]
the keepers went with flails against the poachers and their cause
so no man there again would dare defy the rich man’s laws
so poacher bold, as i unfold, keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold that night in rufford park

[verse]
upon the ground with mortal wound, head keeper roberts lay
he never will rise up until the final judgement day
of all that band who made their stand to set a net or snare
the four men brought before the court were tried for murder there
so poacher bold, as i unfold, keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold that night in rufford park

[verse]
the judge, he said, “for robert’s death, transported you must be
to serve a term of fourteen years in convict slavery”
so poacher bold, as i unfold, keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold that night in rufford park
a buck or doe, believe it so, a pheasant or a hare
were set on earth for everyone quite equally to share
so poacher bold, your tale is told, keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold that night in rufford park
