The grave lies open and I must go,
To sleep with death till the Judgment day,
When God will pardon me I firmly pray.
It was cursed Satan led me astray,
It was Satan tempted me one day,
It was Satan prompted my guilty mind,
So slay Sarah Kirby both good and kind.
Young men and maidens ere ’tis too late,
Oh take a warning by my fate,
Trust in your Saviour who reigns above,
