Long John, Old John and Jackie North - Martin Carthy,Dave Swarbrick

Now Long John'sfrom the mountains gone He'sto London town And the king'sdaughter in fair London She fell in love with him Now Long John was a giant born He was fourteen feet in height And the king'sdaughter she wept for him As she laid alone at night And when the king he heard of this An angry man was he Says this mighty man shall stretch the rope That hangs on the gallows tree So he sent men and cunning men and around him they Did creep And they fed him drops of laudanum And they laid him fast asleep So that when he'sawaked out of his sleep A sorry man was he With his jaws and hands in iron bands And his feet in fetters three So he'sbribed him a servant Long John He'sgiven him meat and fee To run to his uncle Old John to come and rescue he And the first few miles the little boy walked And the next few miles he ran And he run till he come to the broad water Where he lay down and swam And when he come to the mountain high he cried out aloud For there he spied him Jackie North with Old John By his side And there as these two giants stood a grisly sight to see For they were tall as the eagles call And broad as the oaken tree Oh rise rise Old John Jackie North come thee For Long John'sin prison strong and hanged he must be So they ran over hill and they ran over dale And they ran over mountain high Till they come down to London town at the dawning Of the day They cried upon up your city gates open at my call Then they up with their feet And they kicked a hole straight in through London Wall And they trampled down by Drury Lane the crowd Before them ran Till there they spied him Long John stood under the gallows pin They said is it for murder Is it for R**eIs it for robbery For if it'sany heinous crime We'llstand and watch you die He says not for murder not for R**enot for robbery But it'sall for the love of a gay lady They are here to see me die So they took him from the gallows pin Before the king went they Their armour bright cast such a light it fair dazzled His eye Good day to you cries Jackie North good day to you Cries he For we have come for your daughter'swedding All down from the mountains high When the king he seen them come an angry man was he Cries one of you is tall enough what shall I do With three Oh cursed be that serving boy the tidings bore away For I do vow and I do swear high hanged he shall be Oh if you hang this little boy The tidings brought to me We three shall come to his burial and paid you'llSurely be A priest a priest Long Johnny Cries to join my love and me A priest a priest Long Johnny Cries for married we will be Oh take my daughter Long John my curse upon you fall And take my serving boy also lest all my city fall They'vetaken the lady by the hand Set her prison free And the drums did beat And the fifes did play they spent the night with glee And then Long John and Old John Jackie North all three A freed bride and a serving boy Went back to the mountains high
