Thus being o'crtaken at last, I must die, I must die,

Thus being o'ertakeuat last, I must die, Thus being o'crtaken at last, and into prison cast,

And sentence being pass'd, I must die.

Farewell the raging sea, I must die, I must die,

Farewell the raging main, I must die, Farewell the raging main, to Turkey, France and Spain,

I ne'er shall see you again, I must die,

To Newgate now I'm cast, and must die, and must die,

To Newgate now I'm cast, and must die, To Newgate I am cast, with a sad and heavy heart,

To receive my just desert, I must die.

To Execution Dock I must go, I must go,

To Execution Dock I must go, To Execution Dock will many thousands llock.

But 1 must bear the shock, I must die.

Come all you young and old, sec me die, see me die,

Come all you young and old, see me die, Come all you young and old, you're welcome to my gold,

For by it I've lost my soul, and must die.

Take warning now by me, for I must die, for I must die,

Take warning now by me, for I must die, Take warning now by me, and shun bad company,

Lest you come to hell with me, for I must die,

Lost you come to hell with me, for I must die."

Smith, the historian, observes, " that it is certain the pirates were frequently in the Sound, and supplied with provisions by the inhabitants of Long Island, who, for many years afterwards, were so infatuated with a notion, that the pirates buried great quantities of money along the coast, that there is scarce a point of land, or an island, without the marks of their auri sacra fames.
