Horkstow Grange

from A Twelvemonth and a Day by Mark Automaton

lyrics

At Horkstow Grange there lived an old miser
You all do know him as I've heard say
It's him and his man that was named John Bowlin
They fell out one market day

Chorus:
Pity them that see him suffer
Pity poor old Steeleye Span
John Bowlin's deeds will be remembered
Bowlin's deeds at Horkstow Grange

With a blackthorn stick old Steeleye struck him
Oft times had threatened him before
John Bowlin turned 'round all in a passion
He knocked old Steeleye to the floor

Chorus

Steeleye Span he was fell'd by John Bowlin
It happened on a market day
Old Steeleye swore with all his vengeance
He would take his life away

Chorus
