Come all you Bold farmers come Listen a while I will sing you a song will cause you to smile Come all that will fight for your houses and land Come join in this mob and we will you Befriend. 2. It was in July about the tenth day Away to Perth Amboy we all take our way We all take our way if our Courage don’t fail Resolving to take John Banbridge out of jail. 3. We will Make them Comply Boys and soon set him free for the Heat of this Weather don’t with him Agree Besides I do think it a shame and disgrace such a Gentleman’s son should be kept in such A place 4. They saw us A coming they were all surprised they all stood A Guessing with tears in their eyes With tears in their eyes not a word for to say for fear we would Carry their whole town Away 5. We marched to the Jail and there did appear And Who should we meet there But Bold Esquire Deer He Read his commission he swore he would not fail Resolving to keep John Banbridge in Jail 6. Come all you Bold Rebels and what do you mean I have Read my Commission and that you have seen And here I will keep him in spite of you all then down In an Instant this poor man did fall 7. The locks split asunder the Doors Opened wide this man he came Guarded on Every side And sweet pleasant Music was played ore and ore this man was conducted to the Navesink shore 8.

The constable Being Crafty as now you Will find Resolved to leave not a Justice Behind He Bead over his warrant and found it Run so Commanded Judge Nevill with him for to Go 10. Judge Nevill Being Crafty he looked Down with a Smile Don’t Boys we had Best to tarry a while for All these Bold Rebels they will have their will So if we Are wise Boys we had best to be still
