He burieih the Good Book in the sand.

I cursed my father dear, when I sail'd, when I sail'd, I cursed my father dear, when I sail'd,

I cursed my father dear and her that did me bear, And so wickedly did swear, when I sail'd.

I made a solemn vow when I sail'd, when I sail'd,

I made a solemn vow when I sail'd, I made a solemn vow, to God I would not bow.

Nor myself one prayer allow, as I sail'd.

I'd a bible in my hand when I sail'd, when I sail'd,

I'd a bible in my hand when I sail'd, I'd a bible in my hand by my father's great command,

And I sunk it in the sand when I sail'd.

And murdereth V\ iliiam Moore.

And also cruelly kiileth the gunner.

His mate, being abfiijt lo die, repenieth and warii'-ili liim in his career.

I murdered William Moore, as I sail'd, as I sail'd, I murdered William Moore, as I sail'd,

I murdered William Moore, and left him in his gore. Not many leagues from shore as I sail'd.

And being cruel still, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,

And being cruel still, as I sail'd. And being cruel still, my gimner I did kill.

And his precious blood did spill, as I sail'd.

My mate was sick and died as I sail'd, as I sailed, My mate was sick and died as I sailed,

My mate was sick and died, which me much terrified, When he called me to his bedside as I sail'd.
