I spied three ships of Spain as I sail'd, as I sail'd; I spied three ships of Spain as I sail'd; I spied three ships of Spain, I fired on them amain, Till most of them were slain, as I sail'd. 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. 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 were, 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. 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 shall ne'er 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 now I'm 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 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. Bellamont, having in some way learned that treasure had been concealed upon Gardiner's Island, sent commissioners to secure it. They found a box containing seven hundred and thirty-eight ounces of gold, eight hundred and forty-seven ounces of silver, a bag of silver rings, a bag of unpolished stones, a quantity of agates, amethysts, and silver buttons. For this they gave a receipt to Mr. Gardiner, which is still preserved by the family. Other sums were discovered at various periods in the possession of persons who had had relations with Kidd; but the soil of Long Island never yielded up any other booty than the box which we have mentioned.
