One day this poor boy and to me was bound apprentice Because of being so fatherless I took him out of St. James Workhouse His mother being in big distress One day this poor boy and to me offended But nothing undo in they say Up to the main must ... I sent him And kept him there all that long day Oh with my ... spike, I misused him And with the ... rope I gagg-ed him Because I could not bear his cries His legs and hands on to me expanded His pretty face to me like why And by my barbaress cruel treatment The very next day this young boy died So come here captains, all throughout this nation Hear voice in warning take by mean Take special care of your apprentice That you are wrong the raging sea.
