Loading...

[verse 1]
a buck or doe, believe it so
a pheasant or a hare
were set on earth for everyone
quite equal for to share

[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park

[verse 2]
they say that forty gallant poacher lads
they was in a mess
and it was often they’d been attacked
when their numbers they was less

[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park

[verse 3]
upon the gorse, to settle scores
those forty gathered stones
to make a fight for the poor man’s right
and break the keepers’ bones
[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park

[verse 4]
the keepers went with flails against
the poachers and their cause
so no man there again would dare
defy the rich man’s laws

[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park

[verse 5]
the keepers soon they began the fight
with stones and with their flails
but when the poachers they started well
they quickly turned their tails

[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park
[verse 6]
the keepers soon they began the fight
with stones and with their flails
but when the poachers they started well
they quickly turned their tails

[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park

[verse 7]
upon the ground with mortal wound
head keeper roberts lay
he never shall rise up again
until the judgement day

[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park

[verse 8]
of all the band who made a stand
to set a net or snare
the four men brought before the court
were tried for murder there
[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park

[verse 9]
the judge he said, “for roberts’ death
transported you must be
to serve a term of forty years
in convict slavery.”

[chorus]
so poachers bold, as i unfold
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park

so poachers bold, the tale is told
keep up your gallant heart
and think about those poachers bold
that night in rufford park
