Poor Blind Nell (Bushwhackers on refrain in bold)

The moon shone on the village green and shone on poor blind Nell,
And did she see the stars above? She did - like fucking hell

A stranger came to town that night, a Captain from a lugger,
He wasn't fit to shovel shit, the dirty rotten bugger.

He laid poor Nell upon the Green, an act that was unlawful,
And the things he did to poor blind Nell – were simply fucking awful.

He fucked her 'till she swooned away, her face as black as charcoal,
And did he marry poor blind Nell? He did – pig's fucking arsehole!

1960s, field recording. Bushwhacker's Practice Tape recorded by John Meredith & Rob Willis.
