I steer’d from Sound to Sound, as I sail’d, as I sail’d, I steer’d from Sound to Sound, as I sail’d, I steer’d from Sound to Sound, and many ships I found And most of them I burn’d as I sail’d. [Sidenote: He chaseth three ships of France.] I spy’d three ships from France, as I sail’d, as I sail’d, I spy’d three ships from France, as I sail’d, I spy’d three ships from France, to them I did advance, And took them all by chance, as I sail’d. [Sidenote: And also three ships of Spain.] I spy’d three ships of Spain, as I sail’d, as I sail’d, I spy’d three ships of Spain as I sail’d, I spy’d three ships of Spain, I fired on them amain, Till most of them were slain, as I sail’d. [Sidenote: He boasteth of his treasure.] I’d ninety bars of gold, as I sail’d, as I sail’d, I’d ninety bars of gold, as I sail’d, I’d ninety bars of gold, and dollars manifold, With riches uncontroll’d, as I sail’d. [Sidenote: He spyeth fourteen ships in pursuit, and surrendereth.] Then fourteen ships I saw, as I sail’d, as I sail’d, Then fourteen ships I saw as I sail’d, Then fourteen ships I saw and brave men they are, Ah! they were too much for me as I sail’d. Thus being o’ertaken at last, I must die, I must die, Thus being o’ertaken at last, I must die, Thus being o’ertaken at last, and into prison cast, And sentence being pass’d, I must die. [Sidenote: He biddeth farewell to the seas, and the raging main.] 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. [Sidenote: He exhorteth the young and old to take counsel from his fate:] 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 flock, But I must bear the shock, I must die. Come all you young and old, see me die, see me die, Come all 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. [Sidenote: And declareth that he must go to hell, and be punished for his wickedness.] 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, Lest you come to hell with me, for I must die.
