Verse 1
As (D major) I was a -walkin' all along
Radcliffe
Highway
The recruiting (G major) party (D major) come
a (E major) -beatin' (D major) their (E major) drum
I (A major) was listed (D major) and attested and
be (G major) fore I (D major) did know
(A major) It's (D major) to the
King's duty (G major) I was (D major) forced to go
Well I quickly escaped and
(E major) I thought myself (D major) free
Till my cruel (G major) com (D major) panions
they in (E major) formed against me
I was quickly (D major) followed after and
(G major) brought (D major) back with speed.
In chains I was hung, (G major) heavy (D major) irons on me.
Court martial, court martial, they held (E major) again (D major) st me,
and the sentence they (G major) (D major) gave me was three (E major) hundred and three.
May the
Lord (D major) have mercy on their souls for their sad cruelty,
for now the
King's duty (G major) lies (D major) heavy on me.
So again I escaped and I thought (E major) myself (D major) free,
but my cruel sweet touch informed (E major) against me.
I was (A major) quickly (D major) fol (G major) lowed after (D major) an
(G major) d brought (D major) back with speed.
In chains I was hung, (G major) heavy (D major) irons on me.
Court -martial, court -martial, I very (E major) soon (D major) (E major) got,
(D major) and they quickly passed (G major) (D major) sentence that (E major) I should be shot.
May (D major) the
Lord (G major) have (D major) mercy on their souls (G major) for (D major) their sad cruelty,
for now the
King's duty (G major) lies (D major) heavy on me.
So if ever you're a -walkin' on a long (E major) rat (D major) -cliff highway,
the recruiting party come a (E major) -beating (D major) their (E major) drum.
Don't (D major) be listed or attested in (G major) to the
(D major) King's army, or else the
King's duty (G major) will lie (D major) heavy on thee.
