That night I robb'd lord Arkinstone,
nigh unto Covent Garden,
And two or three hours after that,
I robb'd the Earl of Warren.
Through streets broad-streets, and lanes also,
I robb'd Lords, Dukes, and Earls,
Myself in grandeur to maintain,
and to support my girls
nigh unto Covent Garden,
And two or three hours after that,

I robb'd nigh unto Turnhan-green,
a revenue Collector.
Fire hundred pounds I took from him
and smiling it was ready
A hundred guineas of bright gold,
I did return his lady.

Wherever I saw the distressed poor,
