Текст песни
They say the forty gallant poachers, they was in a mess
They oft had been attacked when their number it was less
So poacher bold, as I unfold, keep up your gallant heart
And think about the poachers bold that night in Rufford Park
A buck or doe, believe it so, a pheasant or a hare
Was put on Earth for everyone, quite equal for to share
So poacher bold, as I unfold, keep up your gallant heart
And think about the poachers bold that night in Rufford Park
All among the gorse to settle scores these forty gathered stones
To make a fight for poor man's rights and break those keeper's bones
So poacher bold, as I unfold, keep up your gallant heart
And think about the poachers bold that night in Rufford Park
For the keepers come with flails against the poachers and their cause
But no man there again would dare to break the rich man's laws
So poacher bold, as I unfold, keep up your gallant heart
And think about the poachers bold that night in Rufford Park
For the keepers they began the fight with stones and with their flails
When the poachers started why they quickly turned their tails
So poacher bold, as I unfold, keep up your gallant heart
And think about the poachers bold that night in Rufford Park
All on the ground with a mortal wound head keeper Roberts lay
He never will rise up again till the final judgement day
So poacher bold, as I unfold, keep up your gallant heart
And think about the poachers bold that night in Rufford Park
Of all the band who made their stand, who set a net or snare
Just four were brought before the court and tried for murder there
So poacher bold, as I unfold, keep up your gallant heart
And think about the poachers bold that night in Rufford Park
For the judge says for Roberts' death transported you must be
To serve a term of fourteen years in convict slavery
So poacher bold, as I unfold, keep up your gallant heart
And think about the poachers bold that night in Rufford Park
A buck or doe, believe it so, a pheasant or a hare
Was put on Earth for everyone, quite equal for to share
