lyrics
I
Good people, give ear, whilst a story I tell,
Of twenty black tradesmen who were brought up in hell,
On purpose poor people to rob of their due;
There's none shall be nooz'd if you find but one true.
The first was a coiner, that stampt in a mould;
The second a voucher to put off his gold,
Toure you well; hark you well, see Where they are rubb'd,
Up to the nubbing cheat where they are nubb'd.
II
The third was a padder, that fell to decay,
Who used for to plunder upon the highway;
The fourth was a mill-ken to crack up a door,
He'd venture to rob both the rich and the poor,
The fifth was a glazier who when he creeps in,
To pinch all the lurry he thinks it no sin.
Toure you well, etc.
Toure you well; hark you well, see Where they are rubb'd,
Up to the nubbing cheat where they are nubb'd.
III
The sixth is a file-cly that not one cully spares,
The seventh a budge to track softly upstairs;
The eighth is a bulk, that can bulk any hick,
If the master be nabbed, then the bulk he is sick,
The ninth is an angler, to lift up a grate
If he sees but the lurry his hooks he will bait. Toure you well, etc.
IV
The tenth is a shop-lift that carries a Bob,
When he ranges the city, the shops for to rob.
The eleventh’s a bubber, much used of late;
Who goes to the ale house, and steals all their plate,
The twelfth is a beau-trap, if a cull he does meet
He nips all his cole, and turns him into the street.
Toure you well, etc.
V
The thirteenth a famble, false rings for to sell,
When a mob, he has bit his cole he will tell;
The fourteenth a gamester, if he sees the cull sweet
He presently drops down a cog in the street;
The fifteenth a prancer, whose courage is small,
If they catch him horse-coursing, he's nooz'd once for all. Toure you well, etc.
VI
The sixteenth a sheep-napper, whose trade is so deep,
If he's caught in the corn, he's marked for a sheep
The seventeenth a dunaker, that stoutly makes vows,
To go in the country and steal all the cows;
The eighteenth a kid-napper, who spirits young men,
Tho' he tips them a pike, they oft nap him again. Toure you well, etc.
VII
The nineteenth's a prigger of cacklers who harms,
The poor country higlers, and plunders the farms;
He steals all their poultry, and thinks it no sin,
When into the hen-roost, in the night, he gets in;
The twentieth's a thief-catcher, so we him call,
Who if he be nabb'd will be made pay for all. Toure you well, etc.
VIII
There's many more craftsmen whom here I could name,
Who use such-like trades, abandon'd of shame;
To the number of more than three-score on the whole,
Who endanger their body, and hazard their soul;
And yet; though good workmen, are seldom made free,
Till they ride in a cart, and be noozed on a tree.
Toure you well, hark you well, see where they are rubb'd,
Up to the nubbing cheat, where they are nubb'd.
