Long John, Old John and Jackie North - Martin Carthy

Now Long John's from the mountains gone

He's to London town

And the king's daughter in fair London

She fell in love with him

Now Long John was a giant born

He was fourteen feet in height

And the king's daughter she wept for him

As she laid alone at night

And when the king he heard of this

An angry man was he

Says this mighty man shall stretch the rope

That hangs on the gallows tree

So he sent men and cunning men and around him they

Did creep

And they fed him drops of laudanum

And they laid him fast asleep

So that when he's awaked out of his sleep

A sorry man was he

With his jaws and hands in iron bands

And his feet in fetters three

So he's bribed him a servant Long John

He's given him meat and fee

To run to his uncle Old John to come and rescue he

And the first few miles the little boy walked

And the next few miles he ran

And he run till he come to the broad water

Where he lay down and swam

And when he come to the mountain high he cried out aloud

For there he spied him Jackie North with Old John

By his side

And there as these two giants stood a grisly sight to see

For they were tall as the eagles call

And broad as the oaken tree

Oh rise rise Old John Jackie North come thee

For Long John's in prison strong and hanged he must be

So they ran over hill and they ran over dale

And they ran over mountain high

Till they come down to London town at the dawning

Of the day

They cried upon up your city gates open at my call

Then they up with their feet

And they kicked a hole straight in through London Wall

And they trampled down by Drury Lane the crowd

Before them ran

Till there they spied him

Long John stood under the gallows pin

They said is it for murder

Is it for rape

Is it for robbery

For if it's any heinous crime

We'll stand and watch you die

He says not for murder not for rape not for robbery

But it's all for the love of a gay lady

They are here to see me die

So they took him from the gallows pin

Before the king went they

Their armour bright cast such a light it fair dazzled

His eye

Good day to you cries Jackie North good day to you

Cries he

For we have come for your daughter's wedding

All down from the mountains high

When the king he seen them come an angry man was he

Cries one of you is tall enough what shall I do

With three

Oh cursed be that serving boy the tidings bore away

For I do vow and I do swear high hanged he shall be

Oh if you hang this little boy

The tidings brought to me

We three shall come to his burial and paid you'll

Surely be

A priest a priest Long Johnny

Cries to join my love and me

A priest a priest Long Johnny

Cries for married we will be

Oh take my daughter Long John my curse upon you fall

And take my serving boy also lest all my city fall

They've taken the lady by the hand

Set her prison free

And the drums did beat

And the fifes did play they spent the night with glee

And then Long John and Old John Jackie North all three

A freed bride and a serving boy

Went back to the mountains high
