The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes
Set to music by Phil Ochs, John Otway and Loreena McKennitt

Bold Nevison; Nevison was idolised by the public, and ballads about his deeds were popular centuries after in the form of a folk song "Bold Nevison the Highwayman" (Roud 1082). The Lincolnshire folk singer Joseph Taylor knew three verses of a song about Nevison. (Wikipedia)

O Rare Turpin Hero; Richard Turpin was an English highwayman whose exploits were romanticised following his execution in York for horse theft.

Jane and Amanda Threlfall sang Highwayman Outwitted on their 2002 CD Gown of Green. They noted: Sung by Mrs Kate Thompson of Knaresborough, and published in A Garland of English Folk Songs (1926) by Frank Kidson, this song is sometimes known as The Farmer’s Daughter. It’s probably derived from the street ballad The Crafty Ploughboy, which is based on a true incident which took place in the 1760s. (Mainly Norfolk)
