THeres many a comical Story you know, With a hey down, down an a down, Of valiant and brave Captain Hind; A Song of them all, sing hear 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 has playd Amongst the Outlaws of our Land. He traveld to London and lit on a Gang, With a hey, etc. Who learnd him the absolute Art Of taking a Purse, for better or worse, And bravely he managd his Part. At length they were routed according to Law, With a hey, etc. And hangd was each pilfering Elf, Except Jemmy Hind, who strait did design To set up the Trade of himself. Like to a poor Shepherd he harnest himself, With a hey, etc. Having both a Bottle and Crook, And standing still, at length by a Hill, A Booty he merrily took.
He seizd upon a young Gallants brave prancing Horse, With a hey, etc. Brave Pistols and Silver enough; Which made him to laugh, he gave him his Staff, And bid him to beat on the Hoof. Two Thieves that had heard of the Booty he got, With a hey, 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 riding along the High-way, With a hey, 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 towards London from York, With a hey, etc. With Gold, ay, and Silver 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 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, etc. The Servants rid jogging before, With two Bags of Gold and Silver untold; Hind heard of that plentiful Store. [He] made the Portmantua immediately to bleed, [W]ith [a] hey, [etc.] The Money he cunningly snaps, Then hastend away, no Time to delay, He never stood tthrumming of Caps. Hind met with a Parson as he was pursud, With a hey, etc. To whom he did merrily say, Theres Thieves here behind, are coming youll find, To take all my Money away. Sir, here is a Pistol, pray shoot at the first, With a hey, etc. Which Pistol the Parson receives, As knowing behold, the Saying of old, One honest Man scares twenty Thieves. The Parson he being Pot-valiant it seems, With a hey, etc. He shot, tho it happend in vain; Without more ado his Pistol he threw, At which he was presently tan. Thus Hind got away, but the Parson was brought, With a hey, 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, 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 of Horses with Hind, With a hey, etc. And Thirty Pound gave him to Boot; Then did he endeavour to leap the wide River, But had not the Power to dot. Quoth Hind, you shall see I will leap it with ease, With a hey, etc. And as he the River did cross, Quoth he, There is twenty for seeing brave Hind, And ten Pound for riding his Horse. Hind met with a Parson which had been robbd, With a hey, etc. The Story he merrily told, But though the Thieves found in Silver five Pound, My Collar conceald my Gold; What Trade do you think I may be? said Hind, With a hey, 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, etc. An Inn-keeper fast in the Net, And old Userer, a crabbed old Cur, [W]ould send him to Prison for Debt.
Hind laid down the Money and took up the Bond, With a hey, 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, 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, and his Name it was Jack, With a hey, 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, etc. And when he came up to their View, Hind cand him, and cryd, how slow do you ride, How long must I tarry for you? An aged Committee-man riding to Town, With a hey, etc. Now that he might go through stitch, Tho he had Gold Bags, his Coat was all Rags, That Thieves might not think he was rich: Now whither away? said our brave Captain Hind, With a hey, etc. The other said, Master in brief, I am a poor Heart, and for my own Part, Am going to seek some Relief. Hind threw him a delicate broad Piece of Gold, With a hey, etc. And bid him go drink his good Health, Ah, quoth he, Ill do it right free, And wish you both Honour and Wealth. But when the Committee-man came to his Inn, With a hey, etc. He raild against Captain Hind; The which being told, he plunderd his Gold, His Budget that was so well lind. Of all the great Robbers that ever were known, With a hey, etc. He was the most Frolicksome Blade, His Merriment still did gain him good Will, Tho long he had followd the Trade. At length being taken, for Treason, God wot, With a hey, etc. Against the long Parliament State, Our Captain was tryd, condemned, and dyd, And thus he submitted to Fate. And many more Frolicks the Captain he playd, With a hey, etc. Now if you would read them at large, His Book you may buy, good People, for why, It is but a two Penny Charge.
