- (continued from previous page)We fired until the second round,
When I shot him through the head.
And I gave him the third revolver shot
Before he did departThe captain had me handcuffed
And guarded iron bound
And I was kept a prisoner
Till we landed in CapetownI was then brought back to England
When my trial it came on
And the prosecutors for the Crown
Was Carey’s wife and sonThe jury found me guilty
And the judge made this reply
For the murder of James Carey

And on the gallows high
So the Lord have mercy on your soul
Your hour is drawing nigh.(continues on next page)- Collector
