Tom Pearse, Tom Pearse, lend me your grey mare
All along, down along, out along lee
For I want for to go to Widdicombe Fair

And when shall I see again my grey mare?
All along, down along, out along lee
By Friday soon, or Saturday noon

Then Friday came and Saturday noon
All along, down along, out along lee
But Tom Pearse's mare has not trotted home.

So Tom Pearse he got up to the top of the hill
All along, down along, out along lee
He see'd his old mare down a-making her will.

So Tom Pearce's old mare, she took sick and died
All along, down along, out along lee
And Tom, he sat down on a stone and he cried.

But this isn't the end of this shocking affair
All along, down along, out along lee
Nor though they be dead of the horrid career.

When the wind whistles cold on the moor of a night
All along, down along, out along lee
Tom Pearse's old mare doth appear ghastly white.
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney

And all the long night be heard skirling and groans
All along, down along, out along lee
From Tom Pearse's old mare and a rattling of bones.
