	        Intro: Dm 

      Dm             C 
On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er 
    Dm              C 
I spied a lawyer riding before 
      F                  C 
Kind Sir says he Aren't you afraid 
      Dm            C 
Of Turpin that mischievous blade 

 Dm       C 
Oh rare Turpin hero 
Dm        C     Dm 
Oh rare Turpin oh 


      Dm                  C 
Said Turpin he'll never find me out 
     Dm               C 
I'll hid him my money in my boot 
F                  C 
Oh said the lawyer he'll never find me gold 
Dm            C 
For it's stitched in my cape behind 


 Dm       C 
Oh rare Turpin hero 
Dm        C     Dm 
Oh rare Turpin oh 


      Dm             C 
As they rode down by the powder mill 
Dm              C 
Turpin commands him to be still 
F                  C 
He said Your cape I must cut off 
Dm            C 
For my mare she needs a saddle cloth 


 Dm       C 
Oh rare Turpin hero 
Dm        C     Dm 
Oh rare Turpin oh 


      Dm             C 
As turpin rode in search of prey 
Dm              C 
He met an excise man on his way 
F                  C 
And boldly he did bid him stand 
Dm            C 
Gold he said I do demand 


 Dm       C 
Oh rare Turpin hero 
Dm        C     Dm 
Oh rare Turpin oh 


      Dm             C 
And Turpin quite without remorse 
Dm              C 
Soon knocked him quite from off his horse 
F                  C 
And left him on the ground to spall 
Dm            C 
Rode off with his gold and all 


 Dm       C 
Oh rare Turpin hero 
Dm        C     Dm 
Oh rare Turpin oh 

Dm             C 
Now Turpin is condemned to die 
Dm              C 
To hang upon the gallows high 
F                  C 
His legacy is a strong rope 
Dm            C 
For the shooting of a dung-hill cock (in other versions: Turpin hero there's no hope) 

 Dm       C 
Oh rare Turpin hero 
Dm        C     Dm 
Oh rare Turpin oh
