Lyrics He Ran out of Road - Ashley Hutchings feat. Judy Dunlop & John Tams

As I walked over Salisbury Plain
It was there I met a scamping young blade
He kissed me and enticed me so
Till along with him I was forced for to go
Saturday night sitting on a fence
Too much vodka not much sense
She fell the wrong side when the fence gave way
Into his arms should have turned and run away
You and me girl side by side
Two against the rest Bonnie and Clyde
You'd look lovely in a catwalk gown
Sitting in a motor with the top rolled down
We came unto a public house at last
And there as man and wife we did pass
He called for strong ale, wine and beer
Till at length to bed we both did repair
"Undress yourself my darling," said he
"Undress yourself and come to bed with me"
"Oh yes, that I will then," said she
"If you'll keep all those flash girls away"
"Oh them flash girls you need not fear
For you'll be safeguarded my dear
I'll maintain you as some lady so gay
For I'll go a-robbing on the King's Highway"
And early next morning my true love arose
So nimbly he's put on his clothes
Straight to the highway he set sail
And 'twas there he robbed the coaches of the mail
One dark night it all went crash
Seven loud sirens, seven lights flash
Cornered like a rat with nowhere to run
Chanting out his mouth, waving his gun
He ran outta luck, he ran outta road
Never cared for much for their Highway Code
They led him away and he cursed her name
And a cold wind came howling over the Plain
And now my love in Newgate Gaol do lie
Expecting every moment for to die
The Lord have mercy on his poor soul
For I think I hear the death bell for to toll
