Dr. Faustus - Newry Town lyrics



In Newry town I was bred and born
In Steven's town I die for scorn
Assigned myself to a saddler's trade
And they always called me a roving blade

At seventeen I took a wife
I loved her dear as I loved my life
And to maintain her both fine and gay
A-robbing I went all on the King's highway

I robbed Lord Golding I do declare
I robbed Lady Manning in Grosvenor square
Pulled my shutters up, I bid them goonight
Carried home the silver to my wife's delight

To Covent Garden I made my way
All with my bride to see the play
When Fielding's gang they did me pursue
Taken I was by his accursed crew

My father wept for his only son
My wife she cried 'it's I'm undone'
My mother tore her grey locks and cried
I wish in his cradle that he had died

Six blooming maidens to follow my pall
Give them white gloves and ribbons all
Six highwaymen for to carry me
Give them broad swords and sweet liberty

And when I'm dead and I'm bound to my grave
A decent funeral it's let me have
So on my grave they may speak the truth
Here lies a wild and a wicked youth

In Newry town I was bred and born... etc

(repeat first verse)
