A troubadour he played	A
Without a castle wall	B
Within a hapless maid	A
Responded to his call	B
	-
Oh willow woe is me	C
Alack and well a day	D
If I were only free	C
I'd hide me far away	D
	-
Unknown her face and name	E
But this he knew right well	F
The maiden's wailing came	E
From out a dungeon cell	F
	-
A hapless woman lay	D
Within that dungeon grim	G
That fact I've heard him say	D
Was quite enough for him	G
	-
I will not sit or lie	H
Or eat or drink I vow	I
Till thou art free as I	H
Or I as pent as thou	I
	-
Her tears then ceased to flow	J
Her wails no longer rang	K
And tuneful in her woe	J
The prisoned maiden sang	K
	-
Oh stranger as you play	D
I recognize your touch	L
And all that I can say	D
Is thank you very much	L
	-
He seized his clarion straight	M
And blew thereat until	N
A warden oped the gate	M
Oh what might be your will	N
	-
I've come Sir Knave to see	C
The master of these halls	O
A maid unwillingly	C
Lies prisoned in their walls '	-
	-
With barely stifled sigh	H
That porter drooped his head	P
With teardrops in his eye	H
A many sir he said	P
	-
He stayed to hear no more	Q
But pushed that porter by	H
And shortly stood before	Q
SIR HUGH DE PECKHAM RYE	H
	-
SIR HUGH he darkly frowned	R
What would you sir with me	C
The troubadour he downed	R
Upon his bended knee	C
	-
I've come DE PECKHAM RYE	H
To do a Christian task	S
You ask me what would I	H
It is not much I ask	S
	-
Release these maidens sir	T
Whom you dominion o'er	T
Particularly her	T
Upon the second floor	Q
	-
And if you don't my lord	U
He here stood bolt upright	V
And tapped a tailor's sword	U
Come out you cad and fight	V
	-
SIR HUGH he called and ran	W
The warden from the gate	M
Go show this gentleman	X
The maid in Forty eight	M
	-
By many a cell they past	Y
And stopped at length before	Q
A portal bolted fast	Y
The man unlocked the door	Q
	-
He called inside the gate	M
With coarse and brutal shout	Z
Come step it Forty eight	M
And Forty eight stepped out	Z
	-
They gets it pretty hot	A2
The maidens what we cotch	L
Two years this lady's got	A2
For collaring a wotch	L
	-
Oh ah indeed I see	C
The troubadour exclaimed	B2
If I may make so free	C
How is this castle named	B2
	-
The warden's eyelids fill	N
And sighing he replied	C2
Of gloomy Pentonville	N
This is the female side	C2
	-
The minstrel did not wait	M
The Warden stout to thank	D2
But recollected straight	M
He'd business at the Bank	D2
