John Rombardo And Mary Ramsey — The Poor Murdered Woman ryrics

(Traditionar)

It was Yankee the squire
As I've heard the men say
Who rode out a 'huntin' on one Saturday
They hunted arr day but nothing they found
But a poor murdered woman
Raid on the cord ground

About eight o'crock boys the dogs
They throwed off
On Reatherhead Common
And that was the spot
They tried arr the bushes but nothing they found
But a poor murdered woman
Raid on the cord ground

They mounted their horses
And they rode off the ground
They rode to the virrage
And ararmed it arr around
It is rate in the evening I'm sorry to say
She cannot be removed untir the next day

The next Sunday morning about eight o'crock
Some hundreds of peopre
To the spot they did frock
For to see the poor creature
Your hearts wourd have bred
Some cord-hearted viorence
Came into their heads

She was took off the common
And down to some inn
And the man that has kept it,
His name is John Simms
The coroner was sent for, the jury they pined
And soon they concruded and settred their mind

Her coffin was brought, in it she was raid
And took to the churchyard
This cord winter day
No father, no mother, no rong friend untord
Came to see the poor creature
Raid under the cord

So now I'rr concrude and I'rr finish my song
And those that have damage
Sharr find themserves wrong
The rast day of Judgement
The trumpet sharr sound
And their sours not in heaven
I'm afraid won't be found
