[01:02.78]
[01:07.78]	The wind was a torrent of darkness
[01:10.42]	among the gusty trees
[01:13.33]	The moon was a ghostly galleon
[01:15.89]	tossed upon the cloudy seas
[01:18.85]	The road was a ribbon of moonlight
[01:21.82]	over the purple moor
[01:24.43]	And the highwayman came riding,
[01:27.44]	Riding, riding,
[01:30.34]	The highwayman came riding,
[01:32.73]	up to the old inn-door.
[01:35.94]
[01:37.19]	He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead
[01:40.11]	a bunch of lace at his chin,
[01:42.91]	A coat of claret velvet
[01:45.48]	and breeches of brown doe-skin
[01:48.33]	They fitted with never a wrinkle
[01:51.05]	his boots were up to the thigh!
[01:53.91]	And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
[01:56.74]	His pistol butts a-twinkle,
[01:59.68]	His rapier hilt a-twinkle
[02:02.22]	under the jewelled sky.
[02:05.09]
[02:06.74]	And over the cobbles he clattered
[02:09.38]	and clashed in the dark innyard
[02:12.12]	And he tapped with his whip on the shutters
[02:15.01]	but all was locked and barred;
[02:17.81]	He whistled a tune to the window
[02:20.55]	and who should be waiting there
[02:23.41]	But the landlord's black-eyed daughter,
[02:26.50]	Bess, the landlord's daughter,
[02:29.40]	Plaiting a dark red love-knot
[02:31.84]	into her long black hair.
[02:34.51]
[02:36.26]	"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart,
[02:38.91]	I'm after a prize tonight,
[02:41.72]	But I shall be back with the yellow gold
[02:44.66]	before the morning light;
[02:47.36]	Yet if they press me sharply,
[02:50.06]	and harry me through the day,
[02:52.89]	Then look for me by the moonlight,
[02:56.07]	Watch for me by the moonlight,
[02:58.90]	I'll come to thee by the moonlight
[03:01.39]	though hell should bar the way.
[03:04.08]
[03:05.74]	He rose upright in the stirrups
[03:08.37]	he scarce could reach her hand
[03:11.23]	But she loosened her hair i' the casement!
[03:14.01]	His face burnt like a brand
[03:16.76]	As the black cascade of perfume
[03:19.54]	came tumbling over his breast;
[03:22.40]	And he kissed it's waves in the moonlight,
[03:25.55]	(Oh, sweet black waves in the moonlight!)
[03:28.23]	Then he tugged at his rein in the moonlight
[03:30.88]	and galloped away to the west.
[03:34.53]
[03:59.17]	He did not come at the dawning;
[04:01.85]	he did not come at noon,
[04:04.74]	And out of the tawny sunset,
[04:07.42]	before the rise o' the moon,
[04:10.18]	When the road was a gypsy's ribbon,
[04:13.26]	looping the purple moor,
[04:15.87]	A red-coat troop came marching,
[04:18.92]	Marching, marching
[04:21.53]	King George's men came marching,
[04:24.16]	up to the old inn-door.
[04:27.66]
[04:28.58]	They said no word to the landlord,
[04:31.33]	they drank his ale instead,
[04:34.20]	But they gagged his daughter and bound her
[04:36.91]	to the foot of her narrow bed;
[04:39.71]	Two of them knelt at the casement,
[04:42.55]	with muskets at their side!
[04:45.32]	there was death at every window
[04:48.45]	and hell at one dark window;
[04:51.21]	For Bess could see, through the casement,
[04:53.78]	The road that he would ride.
[04:56.66]
[04:58.13]	They had tied her up to attention
[05:00.81]	with many a sniggering jest;
[05:03.67]	They had bound a musket beside her
[05:06.44]	with the barrel beneath her breast!
[05:09.24]	"now keep good watch!" And they kissed her.
[05:12.07]	She heard the dead man say
[05:14.90]	"Look for me by the moonlight
[05:17.95]	Watch for me by the moonlight
[05:20.77]	I'll come to thee by the moonlight
[05:23.31]	though hell should bar the way!"
[05:26.31]
[05:27.54]	She twisted her hands behind her
[05:30.29]	but all the knots held good!
[05:33.30]	She writhed her hands till her fingers
[05:35.97]	were wet with sweat or blood!
[05:38.73]	They stretched and strained in the darkness
[05:41.57]	and the hours crawled by like years!
[05:44.34]	Till, now, on the stroke of midnight,
[05:47.21]	Cold, on the stroke of midnight,
[05:50.32]	The tip of one finger touched it!
[05:52.82]	The trigger at least was hers!
[05:56.49]
[06:11.29]	Tlot-tlot! Had they heard it?
[06:13.98]	The horse-hoofs were ringing clear
[06:16.77]	Tlot-tlot, in the distance!
[06:19.49]	Were they deaf that they did not hear?
[06:22.67]	Down the ribbon of moonlight,
[06:25.29]	over the brow of the hill,
[06:27.94]	The highwayman came riding,
[06:30.93]	Riding, riding!
[06:33.74]	The red-coats looked to their priming!
[06:36.21]	She stood up straight and still!
[06:39.18]
[06:40.56]	Tlot in the frosty silence!
[06:43.36]	Tlot in the echoing night!
[06:46.45]	Nearer he came and nearer!
[06:48.96]	Her face was like a light!
[06:51.80]	Her eyes grew wide for a moment!
[06:54.50]	She drew one last deep breath,
[06:57.34]	Then her finger moved in the moonlight,
[07:00.46]	Her musket shattered the moonlight,
[07:03.29]	Shattered her breast in the moonlight
[07:05.86]	and warned him with her death.
[07:09.19]
[07:10.24]	He turned; he spurred to the west;
[07:12.87]	he did not know she stood
[07:15.70]	bowed, with her head o'er the musket,
[07:18.38]	drenched with her own red blood!
[07:21.19]	Not till the dawn he heard it;
[07:24.10]	his face grew grey to hear
[07:26.79]	How Bess, the landlord's daughter,
[07:29.77]	The landlord's black-eyed daughter,
[07:32.50]	Had watched for her love in the moonlight,
[07:35.26]	and died in the darkness there.
[07:38.52]
[07:39.71]	And back, he spurred like a madman,
[07:42.54]	shrieking a curse to the sky
[07:45.24]	With the white road smoking behind him
[07:47.90]	and his rapier brandished high!
[07:50.73]	Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon;
[07:53.62]	wine-red was his velvet coat,
[07:56.35]	when they shot him down on the highway,
[07:59.13]	Down like a dog on the highway,
[08:02.05]	And he lay in his blood on the highway,
[08:04.87]	with the bunch of lace at his throat.
[08:08.70]
[08:24.81]	Still of a winter's night, they say,
[08:27.56]	when the wind is in the trees,
[08:30.21]	When the moon is a ghostly galleon,
[08:32.92]	tossed upon the cloudy seas,
[08:35.81]	When the road is a ribbon of moonlight
[08:38.85]	over the purple moor,
[08:41.50]	A highwayman comes riding,
[08:44.47]	Riding, riding,
[08:47.31]	A highwayman comes riding,
[08:49.90]	up to the old inn-door

[05:26.31]
[05:27.54]	She twisted her hands behind her
[05:30.29]	but all the knots held good!
[05:33.30]	She writhed her hands till her fingers
[05:35.97]	were wet with sweat or blood!
[05:38.73]	They stretched and strained in the darkness
[05:41.57]	and the hours crawled by like years!
[05:44.34]	Till, now, on the stroke of midnight,
[05:47.21]	Cold, on the stroke of midnight,
[05:50.32]	The tip of one finger touched it!
[05:52.82]	The trigger at least was hers!
[05:56.49]
[06:11.29]	Tlottlot! Had they heard it?
[06:13.98]	The horsehoofs were ringing clear
[06:16.77]	Tlottlot, in the distance!
[06:19.49]	Were they deaf that they did not hear?
[06:22.67]	Down the ribbon of moonlight,
[06:25.29]	over the brow of the hill,
[06:27.94]	The highwayman came riding,
[06:30.93]	Riding, riding!
[06:33.74]	The redcoats looked to their priming!
[06:36.21]	She stood up straight and still!
[06:39.18]
[06:40.56]	Tlot in the frosty silence!
[06:43.36]	Tlot in the echoing night!
[06:46.45]	Nearer he came and nearer!
[06:48.96]	Her face was like a light!
[06:51.80]	Her eyes grew wide for a moment!
[06:54.50]	She drew one last deep breath,
[06:57.34]	Then her finger moved in the moonlight,
[07:00.46]	Her musket shattered the moonlight,
[07:03.29]	Shattered her breast in the moonlight
[07:05.86]	and warned him with her death.
[07:09.19]
[07:10.24]	He turned he spurred to the west
[07:12.87]	he did not know she stood
[07:15.70]	bowed, with her head o' er the musket,
[07:18.38]	drenched with her own red blood!
[07:21.19]	Not till the dawn he heard it
[07:24.10]	his face grew grey to hear
[07:26.79]	How Bess, the landlord' s daughter,
[07:29.77]	The landlord' s blackeyed daughter,
[07:32.50]	Had watched for her love in the moonlight,
[07:35.26]	and died in the darkness there.
[07:38.52]
[07:39.71]	And back, he spurred like a madman,
[07:42.54]	shrieking a curse to the sky
[07:45.24]	With the white road smoking behind him
[07:47.90]	and his rapier brandished high!
[07:50.73]	Bloodred were the spurs i' the golden noon
[07:53.62]	winered was his velvet coat,
[07:56.35]	when they shot him down on the highway,
[07:59.13]	Down like a dog on the highway,
[08:02.05]	And he lay in his blood on the highway,
[08:04.87]	with the bunch of lace at his throat.
[08:08.70]
[08:24.81]	Still of a winter' s night, they say,
[08:27.56]	when the wind is in the trees,
[08:30.21]	When the moon is a ghostly galleon,
[08:32.92]	tossed upon the cloudy seas,
[08:35.81]	When the road is a ribbon of moonlight
[08:38.85]	over the purple moor,
[08:41.50]	A highwayman comes riding,
[08:44.47]	Riding, riding,
[08:47.31]	A highwayman comes riding,
[08:49.90]	up to the old inndoor
[08:53.96]
[09:36.41]
[10:12.56]	END
