Poor Old Baldey on Newmarket Hill,

I with my gun did shoot him through,

His harmless blood I did there spill.

And then his pockets soon I rifled,

And took from him all his gold,

I left him dead where he was found,

A sight most shocking to behold.

My victim then, I from him fled,

But the eye of God did on me frown,

Oh, what a wretch I must have been,
