Wi' Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy,

Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawk,

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

But this isn't the end o' this shocking affair,

All along, down along, out along, lee.

Nor, though they be dead, of the horrid career

Of Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy,

Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawk,

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

When the wind whistles cold on the moor of a night,

All along, down along, out along, lee.

Tom Pearse's old mare doth appear, gashly white,

Wi' Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy,

Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawk,

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

And all the long night be heard skirling and groans,

All along, down along, out along, lee.

From Tom Pearse's old mare in her rattling bones,

And from Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy,

Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawk,

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.
