     G                                  D 
Come all you wild and wicked youths wherever you may be 
  G                           D 
I pray you give attention and listen unto me 
  C                                  D                 G 
I was brought up in Warwickshire, my parents raised me well 
   D                Am    G  C                D 
My name it is young Henry, a tale to you I'll tell 


G                                 D 
I and five more went one night to Squire Dunhill's park 
    G                                  D 
All hoping we could get some game, the night it did prove dark 
    C                           D                   G 
But to our great misfortune, we were trepanned with speed 
    D            Am           G      C                  D 
And sent away to Warwick gaol, which caused my heart to bleed 


       G                            D 
It was at the March assizes, to the bar we did repair 
     G                             D 
Like Job we stood with patience to hear our sentence there 
      C                              D              G 
Being caught with old offenders, our case it did go hard 
   D                Am       G            C               D 
My sentence was for fourteen years, I was quickly sent on board
