Lewis 'Burner' Pugh - The Ballad of Emily Swann Lyrics




[ Featuring Lewis Graham Pugh ]

THE BcLLcD OF EMILY SWcNN

Emily Swann was a wife, from South Yorkshire she came
When her husband turned up dead she took all the blame,
The neighbours knew his ways and her face would often tell
Of the beating that he gave her, her life a living hell.

Good morning John, Good morning love,
Cre we going below? Or to heaven above?
God bless you Johnny, and rest your soul,
Last time I'll see you is on this gallows pole.

The gallows took her life in nineteen hundred and three
She denied playing a part, but they judged her easily
Sentenced to the pole, in Leeds she was sent down
But it was Gallagher her protector who put Bill in the ground.

John Gallagher fled the scene, at his sisters he did hide
The bounty went out for his life, Wanted Dead or clive
They tracked him down in 'Boro, dragged him back to Leeds
They left this plane together for the earthly deeds.
