    Verse 1
    Poor 

    Lizzie 
    loved 
    a highwayman 

    She 
    gave 
    him 
    all 
    young 
    girl can 

    And 
    in 
    return 
    he 
    gave 

    her 
    widowhood 

    From 
    the bell 
    at 

    Hempstead 
    born 
    to trade 

    The 
    butcher's 
    axe 
    and the 

    butcher's 
    blade 

    And 
    his childhood 
    bride, 

    the picture 
    made 
    complete 

    But 

    Lizzie's 
    mother 
    understood 

    That 
    boy 
    would 
    come 
    to noth
    ing 
    good 

    An 
    apprenticeship 
    in 
    bone 
    and 
    blood 

    Won't 
    lead 
    my 
    girl 
    to 
    motherhood 

    Did
    n't 
    he 
    look 
    fine 
    in 
    church 
    today? 

    In 
    his buckle 
    -boots 
    and 
    his 

    Fustian 
    coat 

    An
    d his 
    feathers 
    blue 
    an
    d grey 

    Young 

    Richard 
    joined 
    the 

    Gregories 

    All 

    Essex 
    boys, 
    the lowest 
    thieves 

    They 
    robbed 
    both 
    rich 
    and poor 

    for 
    greed 
    and 
    gain 

    They 
    broke 
    into 
    their 
    homes 
    at night 

    Regard
    less 
    of 

    their means 
    or 
    might 

    They'd 
    rape 
    or 
    scald 
    or 
    set 
    alight 

    Those 
    poor 
    souls 
    who 
    put up 
    fight 

    No 
    one 
    abound, 
    those 
    desperate 
    men 

    They 
    shot 
    both 
    enemies 
    and 
    friends 

    They 
    sold 
    their 
    souls 
    for 

    liberty 
    an
    gold 

    Lizzie's 
    dreams 
    her 
    phone gave 
    way 

    To 
    cold 
    nights 
    in a 
    forest 
    cave 

    To 
    husband 
    who 

    she 
    couldn't 
    keep 

    Who 
    killed 
    his 
    friend 
    an
    d ran 
    away 

    On 
    a stolen 
    coal 
    black 
    mare 
    called 

    Bess, 
    they say 

    By 
    a full 
    moon's 
    arc, 
    he 
    rode 
    to 

    York, 
    two 
    hundred 
    miles 
    away 

    With 
    a bounty 
    high, 
    he changed 
    his name 

    He 
    poached 
    deer 
    and a 

    horse 
    and game 

    And 
    left 
    his 
    father 
    to 

    take 
    the 
    blame 
    to 
    jail 

    Till 
    one 
    day the 
    landlord's 
    bird 
    he 
    blew 

    The 
    landlord 
    cried, 

    Dick
    , I 
    know 
    you 

    And 
    again 
    the 
    drunk 
    his 
    pistol 
    drew 

    Crying, 
    let me 
    charge 
    and 

    I'll 
    shoot 
    you too 

    From 
    his 
    prison 
    cell 
    he sent 
    a note 

    To 
    his 
    brother 
    and 
    inside 
    he 
    wrote 

    Fine 
    men 
    who'll 
    stand 
    good 

    witness 
    to 
    my 
    name 

    But 
    he 
    wouldn't 
    pay 
    the 
    postage 
    due 

    And 
    the 
    letter 
    fell 
    to 
    one 
    who 
    knew 

    The 
    writing 
    of 
    the 
    one 

    whose fate 
    had 
    brought 
    the 

    Turpin 

    House 
    to 
    shame 

    But 
    didn't 
    he look 
    fine 
    in 
    court 
    today? 

    In 
    his buckled 
    boots 
    and 
    his bustian 
    coat 
    an
    d his 
    feathers 

    blue 
    an
    d grey 


    Dick 

    Durbin 
    paid 
    five 
    men 
    to 
    mourn 

    new 
    coat 
    an
    d shoes 

    stepped 
    out 
    at dawn 

    Like 
    gentleman 
    he 
    bowed 
    along 
    the 
    way 

    He 
    stepped 
    up 
    to 
    the 
    hangman's 
    gate 

    He 
    felt 
    his 
    leg 
    begin 
    to 
    shake 

    He 
    stamped 
    the 
    fear 
    and 
    with 

    his friend 
    a hang
    man 

    Half 
    an 
    hour 
    he spent 

    And 
    with 
    a proud 
    and noble 
    air 

    He 
    left 
    from 
    that 
    three 
    -legged 
    mare 

    And 
    for 
    a while 
    he 
    dangled 

    free 
    his 
    feathers 

    Kissed 
    by 
    morning 
    air 

    But 
    mother, 
    didn't 
    he 
    swing 
    well 
    today? 

    In 
    his 
    buckled 
    boots, 

    and 
    his fustian 
    coat, 

    And his 
    feathers 
    blue 
    an
    d grey. 

    They 
    buried 

    Turpin's 
    body 
    deep, 

    But 
    when 
    the town 
    was fast 

    asleep

    The 
    body 
    snatchers 
    stole 
    his 
    corpse 
    away. 

    An 
    angry 
    crowd, 
    friends 
    to his 
    fame, 

    In 
    preservation 
    of 
    his name, 

    Saved 
    him from 
    the 
    butcher's 
    blade 

    and 
    laid 
    to 
    rest 
    the 
    highwayman 

    He 
    gave 
    his 
    ring 
    and 

    handsome 
    corpse 
    away 

    And 
    an
    other 
    woman's 
    tears 
    fell 
    on 
    his 

    feathers 
    blue 
    and 
    grey 

    We 
    are turning 
    left to 

    Park

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
