Title A name given to the resource English Execution Ballads Execution Ballad Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics I AM a blade that hath no trade, Most people do adore me, And I can hector, swagger, and lie, And drive a town before me. I have a wife of wanton strife, She drives me to trapan, Sir, I nothing say, but hike my way, There goes the Swaggering Man, Sir. With my silk hose, and square toed shoes, I hector, swear, and swagger; And every coxcomb that I meet, I push him with my dagger. At cards and dice I am the man, I am the noted gamester; I love my health, and cock my felt, There goes the Swaggering Man, Sir. O then I go to the Royal Exchange, Where merchants they are walking; All this seems something odd to me, They idly are talking; But if a purse, or a gold watch, Come by the slight of hand, Sir, I nothing say, but hike my way, There goes the swaggering Man, Sir. From thence I to the tavern go, Where a waiter does attend me, I call for liquor of the best, The ladies do commend me. Behind the door there stands my score, The shot they do demand, Sir, I nothing say, but hike my way, There goes the Swaggering Man, Sir. From thence I go to Pater-noster-row, Where they deal in silk and sattin; I pay for one and hike off three, All this is no false latin; But if I am catchd, O then Im snatchd, And obliged to give an answer, Im guilty found, and must come down, From being a Swaggering Man, Sir. But now I have spent, all my means, Among those rakish fellows; And am at last condemnd and cast, To hang upon yon gallows: I sail to Tyburn in a cart, My body to advance, Sir, The ladies cry as I pass by, Dont hang the Swaggering Man, Sir.
