LYRICS

When Claude Duval was in New Gate thrown
He carved his name on the dungeon stone
Quoth a dubsman who stared on the wall
You’ve carved your epitaph Claude Duval
 
Duval was hanged and the next who came
On the self-same stone inscribed his name
“Aha” quothed the dubsman, devilish glee
“Tom Waters hangs on the triple tree”
 
Your name, your name
Written on the New Gate Stone
Your name, your name
Written on the New Gate stone
No one on earth cares for your soul
Your name, your name
The stone lets the reaper know
 
Lay now in the dungeon, Captain Bew
Rumbold and Whitney, the jolly crew
All carved their names on the stone, and all
Share the same brave fate of Claude Deval
 
Twenty highway men, blithe and bold
Rattled their chains in the dungeon old
All those fierce men turned to bone
Who wrote their names on the New Gate stone
 
Your name, your name
Written on the New Gate Stone
Your name, your name
Written on the New Gate stone
No one on earth cares for your soul
Your name, your name
written on the new gate stone
The stone lets the reaper know
Your name, your name
Written on the New Gate Stone
