1
All good people I pray you attend
2
Poor John Lomas his life at an end
3
He was condemned to die
4
He was a great master, so very kind
5
But his fair mistress had evil in her mind
6
He was condemned to die
7
[Chorus:]
8
Willingly I took his place
9
With my fair love
10
Willingly I stole his face
11
And soaked it in blood
12
It was the mistress and the murder for love
13
This fair mistress found him asleep
14
It's time to kill him then my heart you can keep
15
He was condemned to die
16
Three times I struck him over his head
17
It was my first murder, a blood soaken bed
18
He was condemned to die
19
[Chorus]
20
Into my room then I did return
21
The crime committed, my conscience it did burn
22
I was condemned to die
23
In a dark Jail house I would remain
24
For poor John Lomas now it is my name
25
I am condemned to die
26
Willingly I took his place
27
With my fair love
28
Willingly I stole his face
29
And soaked it in blood
30
It was the mistress and the murder
31
It was the mistress and the murder
32
It was the mistress and the murder
33
The mistress and the murder
