TALLOW CANDLES or SONG OF A DOOMED MAN

from the singing of Jacqui & Bridie



I have tallow candles white, hanging high, hanging high

I have tallow candles white, hanging high

I have tallow candles white, and I stole them all by night

And my life shall pay for all, when I die, when I die

And my life shall pay for all, when I die



I have twenty ox in store, that's no joke...

...and I aimed for twenty more

And my life shall pay for all...



I went up the Tyburn Hill, in a cart...

...and twas there I made my will

And my life...



I climb'ed up the ladder by a rope...

...then the hangman pulled the rope

And twas never a word I spoke, coming down...



Take a warning all by me, that's no lie...

... for to shun bad company

Or your life...
