Lyrics for The Escape of John Webb by Kingston Trio:
| | | Artist: | Kingston Trio |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Escape of John Webb | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 47 | | | | Lyrics: | Tom Drake
Five men to guard the British rank and five to watch the town above
And two
to stand at either hand and one to let Bill Tenner out.
He had eighty weight of Spanish iron
between his neck bone and his knee,
But Billy took Johnny up under his arm and lugged him away
right manfully.
Chorus:
And Billy broke locks and Billy broke bolts and Billy broke all
that he came nigh,
Until he came to the dungeon door and that he broke right
manfully.
So they stole them a horse and away did ride and who what they rode
gallantly,
Until they came to the river bank to the river runnin' wild and free!
The British
were comin' close on their heels and who but they stood fearfully,
'Till Billy took Johnny up on
his back and carried him over it easily.
(Chorus)
So they called at the inn for a
room to dance and who but they danced merrily
And the very best dancer among them all was old
John Webb who was just set free! | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
