All good people I pray you attend Poor John Lomas his life at an end He was condemned to die He was a great master, so very kind But his fair mistress had evil in her mind He was condemned to die [Chorus:] Willingly I took his place With my fair love Willingly I stole his face And soaked it in blood It was the mistress and the murder for love This fair mistress found him asleep It's time to kill him then my heart you can keep He was condemned to die Three times I struck him over his head It was my first murder, a blood soaken bed He was condemned to die [Chorus] Into my room then I did return The crime committed, my conscience it did burn I was condemned to die In a dark Jail house I would remain For poor John Lomas now it is my name I am condemned to die Willingly I took his place With my fair love Willingly I stole his face And soaked it in blood It was the mistress and the murder It was the mistress and the murder It was the mistress and the murder The mistress and the murder
