Lyrics:

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
