letra de the humane turnkey (part 2) - peter bellamy

now when i came to london, having rode two hundred mile
to see a turnkey nurse a babe, it cause the crowd to smile
but hearings its sad history, it made the crowd to groan
and many a worthy citizen swore justice would be done

then up and spoke a gentleman, and loudly did declare
that only one man in the land could settle the affair
so to lord sydney’s house i went, the crowd did follow on
for they swore they would see charity before the day was done

when wе came to lord sydney’s house, it was thе hour of nine
we all came bursting in on him as he sat down to dine
he listened to my story and his countenance was grave
then declared that ere the week was out, the family would be saved
lord sydney wrote two letters and he signed them with his hand
one to plymouth, one to norwich, bidding them to understand
that young cabell and the baby with susannah were to go
as a united family unto that distant shore

now i’m home again in norwich, but some other trade i’ll seek
as a coachman or a wagoner, a shopman or a sweep
perhaps i’ll take the shilling or go wear the jacket blue
there’s no trade but it’s the kinder, so locks and bars, adieu
