01:22Dinner time
01:24Dinner time
01:26What have you got for me
01:28For my dear love this evening
01:31Pudding and beef a belly full
01:33A belly full, a belly full
01:36Pudding and beef a belly full
01:39For your dear love this evening
01:42My sheep are out in the wilderness
01:45The wilderness, the wilderness
01:48Sheep are out in the wilderness
01:50So I cannot come home this evening
01:58Shepherd, oh shepherd, will you come home?
02:08Will you come home?
02:09Will you come home?
02:11Shepherd, oh shepherd, will you come home?
02:13For your lodging this night, oh
02:16What have you got for me lodging?
02:19Me lodging, me lodging
02:22What have you got for me lodging?
02:25For my lodging this night, oh
02:28Clean sheet and a pretty lass
02:31A pretty lass, a pretty lass
02:34Clean sheet and a pretty lass
02:36For your lodging this night, oh
02:39I'll leave my sheep out in the wilderness
02:42The wilderness, the wilderness
02:45Leave my sheep out in the wilderness
02:48And I will come home this night, oh
02:51Oh, I will leave my sheep out
03:18You gallant sportsmen all, come listen to me story
03:32Of the bold scoop bottle, that noble grace and phony
03:36Of a model was the man who was brought in scoop all over
03:40He's a diamond in the land, and he rose around in clover
03:44These hosts were brought out, with saddled lip and bridle
03:57And the gentlemen did shout, when they saw the bold rider
04:01And a son did shout hooray, as the airs did with curses
04:05All the greatest silver sportsmen laid out their purses
04:11Now the trumpet did sound, they shot off like an arrow
04:22And scarcely touched the ground, where the gold leaf was narrow
04:26He's held up past and by, as the gentle planted hollow
04:30The grey will win the day, the school here will follow
04:35Not really, but it's the end of the season
04:40So far, if you have a seguridad, the gold leaf was narrow
04:47And in that sense, I've been doing great
04:50And it's really great
04:52And it's really good
04:54I'm going to show you how the gold leaf is
04:54How the gold leaf is, how the gold leaf hits
04:56How the gold leaf is, how the gold leaf is open
04:58How the gold leaf is, how the gold leaf is open
05:00But halfway round the track
05:08Upspone the noble rider
05:11How dare we just fall back
05:13For she's going like a tiger
05:15Upspone the noble horse
05:17Ride on, ride on, be master
05:19We're halfway round the track
05:21And it's now you see who's faster
05:30And it's now you see who's faster
05:40So trip me over the grass
05:42And still move all through light lightning
05:44So shoot me over the grass
05:46That grey mare she was taken
05:48Ride on my noble horse
05:50For the good two hundred guineas
05:53Oh my saddle shall be a foe
05:55When we pick up our winnings
05:58Way past the winning post
06:07Who skew a hole once so handy
06:10And a horse and rider pole
06:11Call for sherry, water and grundy
06:14And here they drank to the help
06:16Of the gallant, Miss Felder
06:18And all who lost their money
06:20Of the sport is still there
06:23And here they go
06:26Let's go
06:40Let's go
06:43Let's go
12:51You must read my will right If you will lie with me this night
13:06Riddle me wheat and riddle me right Where was I on Saturday night?
13:10If water was my prison to pay I would swim for liberty
13:14If water was my prison to pay I would swim for liberty
13:19What was the boat you built for me? Down the woods and under a tree
13:24A moonlit night as I sat high I looked for one but two come back
13:28A moonlit night as I sat high I looked for one but two come back
13:33The box did down, the leaves did shake To see the hole in the fox did night
13:49The peddler cast, the peddler swore So loudly beat all at the door
13:55The peddler cast, the peddler swore So loudly beat all at the door
14:00Get your gun, you peddler man For I know you and where you're from
14:05She looked out of her window so high She spied her brothers come riding by
14:09Get your gun, you peddler man For I know you and where you're from
14:19Seven brothers came to the door So loudly they, the horn did blow
14:36Seven brothers came to the door So loudly they, the horn did blow
14:41Down on his knees the peddler fell For mercy's dear, he shouted more
14:45All night long a grave I made All day long in wait I laid
14:50All night long a grave I made All day long in wait I laid
14:54The lady laughed, the lady sang As to the woods the peddler ran
14:59Around his heels the hounds they ran As round his head the bullets rang
15:03Round his heels the hounds they ran As round his head the bullets rang
15:08The box did bend, the leaves did shake To hear the cries the fox did lay
15:15The box did bend, the leaves did shake To hear the cries the fox did lay
15:27I know you and where you're from
15:40Where have you been all day?
15:53Where have you been all the day, Pony Boy, Billy Boy?
16:09Where have you been all the day, Oh my dear darling Billy, oh
16:14No, I have been all the day, Walking with a lady gay
16:19Isn't she a young thing, Lickin' from Romeo?
16:30Is she fit for your wife, Pony Boy, Billy Boy?
16:35Is she fit for your wife, Oh my dear darling Billy, oh
16:40She's as fit to be my wife, As the hunk is to the night
16:45Isn't she a young thing, Lickin' from Romeo?
16:55Did she ask you to sit down, Pony Boy, Billy Boy?
17:01Did she ask you to sit down, Oh my dear darling Billy, oh
17:06Well she asked me to sit down, Then she cuts her to the ground
17:11Isn't she a young thing, Lickin' from Romeo?
17:16Did she let you work till then, Pony Boy, Billy Boy?
17:37Did she light you up till then, bonnie boy, billy boy?
17:47Did she light you up till then, oh my dear darling, billy-o?
17:52Yes, she lit me off the bed with a nodding off her head.
17:58Isn't she a young thing, lady from a mommy-o?
18:07Did she light so close to you, bonnie boy, billy boy?
18:13Did she light so close to you, oh my dear darling, billy-o?
18:18Yes, she lay so close to me, like the bonkers to the tree.
18:23Isn't she a young thing, lady from a mommy-o?
18:28Do you want to know her age, bonnie boy, billy boy?
18:38Do you want to know her age, oh my dear darling, billy-o?
18:43She is twice six, seven, she is twice twenty and eleven.
18:49Isn't she a young thing, lady from a mommy-o?
18:53Do you want to know her age, bonnie boy?
19:19And it happened to king and me
19:32And a heart it did right
19:34Train his hawk is called greyhaw
19:37When he lied down by his side
19:39Chased the road ridden before
19:42Chased the buck down to his dead
19:44The fact is steering all the flock
19:46King Henry is slain
19:49King Henry VIII, the banners and dogs drank all the blood
20:02They lay down, they fall asleep
20:05Asleep as though they were dead
20:07It fell about the midnight hour
20:10When all men lay asleep
20:12Around the house, the very trees
20:15The very trees did weep
20:18Dread shaking shut the house
20:35Great shaking shut the house
20:48Shaking split the door
20:50The foulest woman the dead there was
20:52Come a-tapping on the floor
20:54Her head hit the roof of the hunting lodge
20:57A waste you could hardly stand
20:59If a foul a woman lived
21:01She was not known
21:03To God her man
21:05Meet me to king and me
21:26Meet give thou to me
21:28What meets there in the house lady
21:30That you're not welcome to
21:32So she is taking his good
21:34Round steed in his heart
21:36His heart is sore
21:37She's ate it up
21:39Her skin and bone
21:40Left nothing but hide in half
21:43So she is lying
21:45Does he is hungry?
21:48The whole mouth of the fire
21:49Is that too late?
21:50He's heard it in the waterproof
21:51If you buy out
21:53I'm hungry for them
21:53I'm hungry for them
21:54I'm hungry for them
21:55Or maybe I may need sh mud
21:58I'm hungry for you
21:58For wakering when I'm hungry for five
22:01N spy
22:01Let never the man who made right
22:20Never get things free
22:22A roof of gold
22:24A heart of love
22:25Full of charity
22:27King Henry
22:31King Henry
22:33King Henry
