Horkstow Grange

In Hawkstowe Grange there lived an old miser

You all do know him, as I've heard say

Him and his man that's named John Bolin

They fell out all on one day

So pity them that sees him suffer

Pity them poor Steeleye Span

John Bolin's deeds will be we'membered

Bolin's deeds at Hawkstowe Grange

With a blackthorn stick old Steeleye struck him

Had often threatened him before

John Bolin turned round all in a passion

And struck old Steeleye to the floor

So pity them that sees him suffer

Pity them poor Steeleye Span

John Bolin's deeds will be we'membered

Bolin's deeds at Hawkstowe Grange

Steeleye Span was felled by John Bolin

It happened to be on a market day

Old Steeleye swore with all his vengeance

He would take his life away

So pity them that sees him suffer

And pity them poor Steeleye Span

John Bolin's deeds will be we'membered

Bolin's deeds at Hawkstowe Grange

In Hawkstowe Grange there lived an old miser

You all do know him, as I've heard say

Him and his man that's named John Bolin

They fell out all on one day
