“I was brought up in Boston In a street you all know well...”
I was brought up in Boston
In a street you all know well
Brought up by honest parents
The truth to you I'll tell
Brought up by honest parents
And reared most tenderly
Till I became a rambling man
At the age of twenty three.
My character it was taken
And I was sent to jail
My friends found out all in vain
To get me out on bail.
The jury found me guilty
And the clerk he wrote it down
The judge he past my sentence
I was send from Charlestown
The sent me on board an eastern train
On a cold December day
And at every station I stood by
I could hear the ladies say
Here goes the Carthoon burglar
In strong chains he'll be bound
For one crime or another
He is off from Charlestown(continues on next page)- Informant
