_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Come [C#] _ all [G#m] you _ [C#m] gallant _ _ [B] _ purchasers that run _ _ [F#] wide [B] _ _ aflame,
_ [C#m] That walk out on a moonlight [B] night [E] with the [B] dog [C#m] upon [B] [C#] his _ name.
_ [B] The _ harmless man [C#m] _ _ -pheasants you [E] have at [B] your _ _ command, _
[C#m] Not _ thinking of your _ last [B] career _ _ _
[E] at [B] one _ vendee [C#]-lavish _ [B] [C#m] man.
[B] _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
Me _ and five more went out [B] one night _ _ into _ _ [F#] _ [B] Squaduncombe's park
_ [C#m] To see if we could catch [B] some guy _ [E] by [G#m] [C#m] tipping _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _ dock.
_ [B] For to right _ _
[C#m] _ _ misfortune we [E] carved _ [B] on with speed, _
[C#m] And they took us off to _ [B] Warwick town, _ _ _ [E] which [D#m] made [C#m] our [B] hearts [C#m] to _ bleed. _ _ _ _ _ _
Then at _ _ [G#m] Warwick _
[C#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
we did appear, _ _ and [C#m] like Joe we stood with _ [B] patience _ [E] and _
[G#m] [C#m] tenderness [B] for [C#m] a _ year.
_ [B] For this _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ girl _ and _ [C#m] her fourteen _ long _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [C#m] hours [B] spent [C#m] on _ board, _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] We [C#m] _ heard her female _ _ [B] cause _ _ _ _ _ was her name, _ [C#m] and she was given _ _ _ [B] sentence [E] for _
[G#m] _ [C#m] _ _ [B] [C#m] the _ game.
But [B] they kept her _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ out of hand, _ _ [C#m] and she proved cruel and kind [B] to all, _ _ [E] going to [B] _ [C#m] _ _ Vengeance.
_ As _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I lay up _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] I dreamed I was in old [G#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[C#m] fields and woods _ _ amongst,
[B] With my true love [C#m] beside me, _ _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
but [C#m] I woke quite _ broken _ _ [B] _ hearted _ _
_ [E] _ [C#m] in _ _ _ Vendemon's _ land. _ _ _ _
So come all you _ gallant _ _ [B] _ poachers, give ear unto _ my _ song.
_ [C#m] It is a bit of good [G#m] advice, _ [E] although [C#m] _ it be not _ _ long.
[B] Lay by your [C#m] guns, ne _ 'er, to you [B] I do speak _ plain.
[F#] If [C#m] you knew the _ hardships we [B] endure, _ _ _ [E] you ne [C#]'er would [B] poach [C#m] _
_ again. _ _ _ _ _
