and god's laws i did forbid
and so wickedly i did
as i sailed as i sailed

as i sailed as i sailed
o i murdered william moore
as i sailed
i laid him in his gore
not many leagues from the shore
o i murdered william moore
as i sailed as i sailed

as i sailed i spied three ships from spain
as i sailed as i sailed
o i spied three ships from spain
as i sailed
i spied three ships from spain
and i fired on them a-main
and most of them i slain
as i sailed as i sailed
and most of them i slain

and by it i lost my soul
come all you young and old
i must die i must die
come all you young and old
i must die
