  1. (no title) (continued)

    As I rode out from Woodford town...

    (continued from previous page)
    farm as your father did of yore,
    Go in to Tenner pay your rent at a fair reduction and nothing more.
    III
    I put a hand down in my pocket and a revolver I pulled out.
    Tenner fell down in a slumber and for the Police loud he did shout,
    Now Mr. Tenner stop your shouting,
    Here is your money I will count it down,
    Or lay my word I will have your life or get 7/6 in the pound.
    "Chorus"
    Hold the ground and stock the farm as your father did of yore,
    Go in to Tenner pay your rent at a fair reduction and nothing more.
