At Horsemonger lane on the scaffold high,
For a cruel murder I was doomed to die.
James Longhurst, it is my name,
I’ve brought myself to grief & shame
Through the dreadful deed that I had done,
At Churchill field, near Guildford town
It was in last June, the twenty-eighth
I did this deed as I now state;
An innocent child I there did slay,
And with a knife took her life away.
