Wardour Street Border Ballad	A
	-
	-
quot Now this is the price of a stirrup cup quot	A
The kneeling doctor said	A
And syne he bade them take him up	B
For he saw that the man was dead	A
	-
They took him up and they laid him down	C
And oh he did not stir	D
And they had him into the nearest town	C
To wait the Coroner	D
	-
They drew the dead cloth over the face	E
They closed the doors upon	F
And the cars that were parked in the market place	E
Made talk of it anon	F
	-
Then up and spake a Daimler wide	A
That carries the slatted tank	G
quot 'Tis we must purge the country side	A
And no man will us thank	G
	-
quot For while they pray at Holy Kirk	H
The souls should turn from sin	F
We cock our bonnets to the work	H
And gather the drunken in	F
	-
quot And if we spare them for the nonce	I
Or their comrades jack them free	J
They learn more under our dumb irons	K
Than they learned at time mother's knee quot	A
	-
Then up and spake an Armstrong bold	A
And Siddeley was his name	L
quot I saw a man lie stark and cold	A
By Grantham as I came	L
	-
quot There was a blind turn by a brook	M
A guard rail and a fail	N
But the drunken loon that overtook	M
He got no hurt at all	O
	-
quot I ha' trodden the wet road and the dry	P
But and the shady lane '	-
And why the guiltless soul should die	P
Good reason find I nane quot	P
	-
Then up and spake the Babe Austin	F
Had barely room for two	Q
quot 'Tis time and place that make the sin	F
And not the deed they do	Q
	-
quot For when a man drives with his dear	R
I ha' seen it come to pass	S
That an arm too close or a lip too near	R
Has killed both lad and lass	S
	-
quot There was a car at eventide	Q
And a sidelings kiss to steal	T
The God knows how the couple died	Q
But I mind the inquest weel	T
	-
quot I have trodden the black tar and the heath	U
But and the cobble stone	F
And why the young go to their death	V
Good reason find I none quot	Q
	-
Then spake a Morris from Oxenford	Q
'Was keen to a Cowley Friar	D
quot How shall we judge the ways of the Lord	Q
That are but steel and fire	D
	-
	-
quot Between the oil pits under earth	W
And the levin spark from the skies	X
We but adventure and go forth	Y
As our man shall devise	X
	-
quot And if he have drunken a hoop too deep	Z
No kinship can us move	A2
To draw him home in his market sleep	Z
Or spare his waiting love	B2
	-
quot There is never a lane in all England	Q
Where a mellow man can go	C2
But he must look on either hand	Q
And back and front also	C2
	-
quot But he must busk him every tide	Q
At prick of horn to leap	Z
Either to hide in ditch beside	Q
Or in the bankes steep	Z
	-
quot And whether he walk in drink or muse	D2
Or for his love be bound	Q
We have no wit to mark and chuse	D2
But needs must slay or wound quot	Q
	-
	-
	-
They drew the dead cloth from its face	E
The Crowner looked thereon	F
And the cars that were parked in the market place	E
Went all their ways anon	F
