Lyrics
Now Gilderoy was a bonny boy
And he would not of ribbons wear
He's pulled off his scarlet coat
He's got a red below his knee
He was beloved by the ladies so gay
And he was such a rakish boy
He is my sovereign heart's delight
My handsome bold young Gilderoy
Young Gilderoy and I was born
All in one town together
And at the age of seventeen
We courted one each other
Our dads and our mums they both did agree
And crowned with mirth and joy
To think that I should marry with
My handsome bold young Gilderoy
Now Gilderoy and I walked out
All in the fields together
He took me round the way so small
And down we went together
And when he had done all a man could do
He rose and kissed his joy
He is my sovereign heart's delight
My handsome bold young Gilderoy
What a pity it is a man should hang
For stealing of a woman's wear
He had neither robbed a house nor land
And he stole neither horse nor deer
For he was beloved by the old and the young
And he was such a rakish boy
He was my sovereign heart's delight
My handsome bold young Gilderoy
Now Gilderoy, they've hung him high
And a funeral for him we shall have
With a sword and a butler by my side
I'll guard my true love to his grave
For he was beloved by the young and the old
And he was such a rakish boy
He was my sovereign heart's delight
My handsome bold young Gilderoy
