A shire horse stolen in Salisbury could have been the final straw
Lee should have hanged but he framed his father in law
Old man Scamp was a well-loved man, patriarch of the gypsies
Hundreds gathered for a sad farewell in the Odstock churchyard

The life of a man for the loss of a horse, a key in the lock for the life of a man

One year he'd been in the ground, the gypsies gathered for a party
Drank and covered his grave with flowers, at his feet they planted a yew tree
The tree grew fast and the tree grew tall: the vicar could not stand it
Tore its roots up from the ground in the Odstock churchyard

The life of a man for the loss of a horse, a key in the lock for the life of a man

Curses flew from Old Mother Lee's lips, you've preached your last sermon
The wardens sons won't farm his land and death unto the sexton
And when they barred her from the church, she hissed a final parting
Who dares lock this door will die in the Odstock Churchyard
