I cursed my father dear and her that did me bear,
And so wickedly did swear, when I sail’d.
And blasphemeth against God:
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.
He burieth the Good Book in sand:
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,
