    (continued from previous page)
    And I a blessed little ass
    That carries Your Redeemer's Cross
    I was not worthy of your care
    Me price was small on every fair
    You tied me here as well you know
    Afraid be chance that I would go
    To see Long James's ass or Jack's
    Dan Lyon's or the Widows Mack's
    You left me here to starve or drown
    Misfortune on you ever frown
    I say before I do depart
    Ther's treachery
    In your false heart
    You are guilty of this awful crime
    I could say more if I got time
    But now I must prepare to die'
    I bid my comrades all "good bye"
