shirley collins - rockley firs/sweet jenny jones lyrics
in rockley firs where i was sought
i thought that night i should have been caught
the moon shone bright, and the stars gave light
and from them all i ran away
i went to the tavern on sat+rday night
and called for a bottle, likewise a pipe
and a special warrant it was brought in
and taken i was in cole’s kitchen
i slept at cole’s all that long night
mark hanks came in before it was light
and he said, “young man, you must away
to marlborough gaol, this very day”
i mounted a gig in marlborough town
and off to salisbury i was bound
in irons so strong they bound my hands
and i was forced to go at their command
my trial is over, i am got free
i am not transported as you all may see
’twas in a dark cell where i did lie
where locks and bolts like bullets did fly
now salisbury assizes was over and past
all call for a brandy all in a strong glass
but the hares and the pheasant shall never go free
for poaching is the life for me
