Horrible Histories - Dick Turpin Or Stand And Deliver Lyrics
Everyone thinks they know the story
Of Dick Turpin's highway glory

When they could have satins and lace
And stand by her man
Through good times and bad

The Highwaymen - Two Stories Wide Lyrics
Come out of the darkness.
Don't hide in the night.

And it's too deep to measure.
It's two stories...

She stepped down from her carriage,
At Ten Vermillon Street.
