Thomas And Martha Lyrics
Dorchester, August 1856
I’m an old man now and ashamed of this
But I had to be in town for other reasons
I stood in a crowd of three or four thousand
The hood on her head and the rope around it
And summer’s sometimes not the warmest season
A fine figure shrouded in black
Hung in the misty rain
Wheeled half-round and back
And her silk gown set off her shape
I’m an old man now and ashamed of this
But in Dorchester, August 1856
I saw hanged Martha Brown of Birdsmoorgate
I’m an old man now and ashamed of this
But I had to be in town for other reasons
The hood on her head and the rope around it
And summer’s sometimes not the warmest season
Hung in the misty rain
Wheeled half-round and back
And her silk gown set off her shape
But in Dorchester, August 1856
I saw hanged Martha Brown of Birdsmoorgate
