It was on the trail of riches,
|
We set off upon that day,
|
To the Castle keep of Carisbrooke,
|
To where the treasure lay,
|
And soon I found the diamond,
|
At the bottom of the well,
|
But that traitor of a Turnkey,
|
To his death below he fell;
|
|
a€œHave a care, have a care,
|
T'was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
|
Have a care, have a care,
|
T'was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!a€?
|
|
Then across the sea to Holland,
|
With the jewel in my hand,
|
Where we went to sell our treasure,
|
At the house of Aldebrand,
|
When he said it was no diamond,
|
Through the window it was tossed,
|
But that wicked man was lying,
|
And we were caught in a double-cross;
|
|
a€œHave a care, have a care,
|
T'was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
|
Have a care, have a care,
|
T'was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!a€?
|
|
a€œWhat shall we do with the boy who's stealing?
|
What shall we do with the boy who's stealing?
|
What shall we do with the boy who's stealing, early in the morning?a€?
|
|
Throw him into jail let him rot forever,
|
Throw him into jail let him rot forever,
|
Throw him into jail let him rot forever, early in the morning!a€?
|
|
a€œHave a care, have a care,
|
T'was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
|
Have a care, have a care,
|
T'was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!a€?
