Horkstow Grange - Steeleye Span

In Horkstow Grange there lived and old miser

You all do know him as I have heard say

It’s him on his men that was named John Bowlin

And they fell out one market day

With a blackthorn stick old Steeleye struck him

As oft times he had threatened before

John Bowlin turned round all in a passion

And knocked old Steeleye into the floor

Old Steeleye Span he was filled with John Bowlin

It happened to be on a market day

Old Steeleye swore with all his vengeance

He would swear his life away

Pity them what see him suffer

Pity poor old Steeleye Span

John Bowlin’s deeds they will be remembered

Pity poor old Steeleye Span

Pity poor old Steeleye Span
