The Tyburn Gallows was a popular place
Just outside London from 1108 to 1783
A great day’s entertainment, fun to see
Red faced criminals doing the Tyburn Jig
Hanging by their necks from the Tyburn Tree
Struggling to keep alive entertainingly
Crowds of thousands enjoyed the fun sight
Refreshments served to capitalize on the fun
Cheers and jeers, criminals about to be hung
Oh it was such grand fun, a family affair
Nothing like seeing people put to death
In old Tyburn square. Unless you were
Hanging from the Tree doing the Tyburn Jig.
