THeres many a comical story you know, with a hey down, down and a down, Of valiant and brave Captain Hind: A song of them all sing here now I shall, Tis jocular, pleasant, and fine, How this valiant Captain his calling began, with a hey down, etc. In brief you shall here understand; Theres few of his trade such frolicks have playd Among the outlaws of the land. He travelld to London, and met with a gang with a hey down, etc. Who learnd him the absolute art Of taking a purse for better for worse; And bravely he managd his part: At length they were routed according to law, with a hey down, etc. And hanged was each pelfering elf; Except Jemmy Hind, who strait did design To set up trade for himself. Like to a poor shepherd he harnessd himself, with a hey down, etc. Having both a bottle and crook, And standing at length on a hill, A booty he merrily took. He seizd on a gallants brave prancing horse, with a hey down, etc. Brave pistols and silver enough: Which made him to laugh, he gave him a staff,
And bid him to beat on the hoof Two thieves that had heard of the booty he got, with a hey down, etc. They came for to rob him next day; But brave valiant Hind he savd his own coin, And took the thieves money away. As Hind was a riding along the highway, with a hey down, etc. An old hag he happend to meet; She gave him a charm to keep him from harm. He threw her a crown for a treat. A gentleman riding from London to York, with a hey down, etc. With gold, aye, and silver so bright: Hind soon got the fleece, then threw him a piece To buy him a supper at night. Hind happend to come to the very same inn, with a hey down, etc. Whereat the York gentleman lay, Who telling his loss, and seeing Hinds horse, It was not convenient to stay. Three gentlemen drinking a bottle of wine, with a hey doshn, etc. The servants went jogging before, With two bags of gold, and silver untold, Hind heard of that plentiful store. He made the portmanteaus immediately bleed, with a hey down, etc. The money he cunningly snaps;
Then hastend away, no time to delay, He never stood thrumming of caps. Hind met with a parson as he was pursud, with a hey down, etc. To whom he did merily say, Theres thieves behind a coming youll find, To take all your money away: Sir, here is a pistol, pray shoot at the first, with a hey down, etc. Which pistol the parson receives, As knowing behold one saying of old, One honest man scares twenty thieves: The parson being pot-valiant it seems, with a hey down, etc. He shot, tho it happend in vain, Without more adieu the pistol he threw, At which he was presently taen: Thus Hind got away, but the parson was brought with a hey down, etc. Unto an old Justice tis said; Where soon he was cleard, for why it appeard That he was no thief by his trade. Not far from a river, Hind met with a spark, with a hey down, etc. Whose pockets with gold were well lind, Quoth he, as I live twenty pounds I would give, If I could but see Captain Hind; He strait was for changing horses with Hind, with a hey down, etc. And thirty pounds gave him to boot; Then did he endeavour to leap a wide river, But had not the power to dot: Quoth Hind you shall see me leap it with ease, with a hey down, etc. And as he the river did cross, Quoth he there is twenty for seeing brave Hind, And ten pounds for riding his horse. Hind met with a parson who had been robbd, with a hey down, etc. The story he merrily told, But tho the thieves found in silver five pounds My collar concealed my gold: What trade do you think I am said Hind? with a hey down, etc. I know not, said the Divine: A Cutter, quoth he, and so you shall see, I want such a collar as thine. Hind came to a town where the Bailiffs had got, with a hey down, etc. An innkeeper fast in the net; An old Usurer, a crabbed old cur, Would send him to prison for debt. Hind laid down the money, and took up the bond, with a hey down, etc.
Then finding the man was but poor, He soon paid himself, for he robbd the old elf, Of that, likewise twenty pounds more. Hind came to a gentleman under a hedge, with a hey down, etc. So when he had taken his chink, He boldly rid on to William his man, And gave him ten shillings to drink. Hind got him a man, whose name was Jack, with a hey down, etc. An active and delicate lad; Without any fear, hed ride far and near, Where any thing was to be had. They waited for one that had lodgd at their inn with a hey down, etc. And when he came up to their view Hind cand him and cryd, how slowly you ride How long must I tarry for you? An aged committee-man riding to town, with a hey down, etc. Now that he might go thorough stich, Tho he had gold bags, his coat was all rags, That thieves might not think he was rich. Now wither away, said brave Captain Hind? with a hey down, etc. The other said, Master, in brief, I am a poor heart, and fur my own part, Am going to seek some relief. Hind threw him a delicate piece of broad gold, with a hey down, etc. And bid him go drink his health; Aye, master, quoth he, Ill do it right free, And wish you both honour and wealth. But when the committee-man came to the inn, with a hey down, etc. He raild against Captain Hind, The which being told, he plunderd his gold. His budget was so well lind. Of all the great Robbers that ever was known, with a hey down, etc. He was the most frolicksome blade, His merriment still did gain him good-will, Tho long he had followd his trade. At length being taken for treason God-wot, with a hey down, etc. Against the long parliament state, Our Captain was tryd, condemnd, and dyd, And thus he submitted to fate. And many more frolicks the Captain has playd, with a hey down, etc. Now if you will read them at large, The book you may buy, good people for why, It is but just one penny charge.
