As recorded by Fairport Convention (From the 2020 Album SHUFFLE AND GO) [Intro] Dm [Verse 1]
Dm
Don't reveal my name

         F
When you get to the border

          Dm
Don't you speak my name

         F
When you walk upon the sea

         Dm
Near the banks of the river

          F
Where the waters call the faithful

        Dm
Just forget you know my name

Dm
'Cause they will not let me be
[Verse 2]
Dm
Pity me young and foolish

         F
With the pride of old Elijah

       Dm
I've a taste for the liquor

          F
That will set my spirit free

        Dm
All the lovers I have taken

        F
Keep me running after midnight

   Dm
My name ever changing

        F         Dm
So they cannot follow me
[Verse 3]
Dm
I worked in bars earning money

       F
With a deck of cards to guide me

        Dm
I could let them see the ace

        F
Make it vanish in the air

         Dm
Some say devil some said magic

   F
My cards of light would fool them

        Dm
Full of lies, twists and fortune

                  F     Dm
Outlaw, stranger, wild and free
[Verse 4]
Dm
Darkest night dealing trouble

       F
To the edge of the table

       Dm
Came a man chewing gold

        F
Staring eyes that could not see

       Dm
But he heard every deal

         F
Of those fifty two companions

         Dm
Pulled a gun on my game

Dm
Fired a bullet, misery
[Interlude] Dm G Dm G F Dm G Dm [Verse 5]
          Dm
I lay for dead as the fight broke

       F
Then I chanced and crawled for cover

         Dm
Found my way to the back

    F
And out into the night

            Dm
Tricks and deals, friends and lovers

       F
Left behind, and I'm still running

      Dm
Now a price on my head

        F                  Dm
Where a rope waits hanging high
[Verse 6]
           Dm
So don't reveal my name

         F
When you get to the border

          Dm
Don't you speak my name

         F
When you walk upon the sea

         Dm
Near the banks of the river

          F
Where the waters call the faithful

        Dm
Just forget you know my name

Dm
'Cause they will not let me be
[Outro]
Dm
Forget you know my name

Dm
'Cause they will not let me be

Dm
Forget you know my name

Dm
'Cause they will not let me be

Dm
Will not let me be

Dm
Will not let me be...
