[Intro]
N.C.
Everyone thinks they know the story
N.C.
Of Dick Turpin's highway glory
N.C.
But my past is far more gory
N.C.
I was no saint
N.C.
You think life is one big antic
N.C.
My profession is romantic
N.C.
Hate to be pedantic
N.C.
But it ends

[Instrumental]

As a butcher down in Essex

I was handy with a knife

Led a less than honest life

The notorious gang of Gregory

Liked my style and dedication

They signed me up and gave me

A real robber's education

We rampaged through the Essex farms

We stole and robbed and fought

But when the law came for us

I escaped and they got caught

I became a highwayman

Was daylight robbery

Nothing dandy about me

The truth is, I was violent

And with my good mate, Matt King
