Recasting the highwayman Dick Turpin as a quixotic Robin Hood, social philosopher of the roads.
What a beautiful song and illustration of left-wing individualism.
The lyrics were set to music by Billy Bragg, and recorded and released in collaboration with Wilco on their 1998 LP, Mermaid Avenue.
And Billy Bragg does a great interpretation of it. His voice is so perfect for this song.
