   On the day of my trial
   To the bench the car man swore
   A hatchet I had in my hand
   When I gave her the blow
   And still I was found guilty
   No better I deserved.

   Near Tallow I was born
   That is my native place
   I never thought I would have brought
   My parents to disgrace
   Until this cursed murder
   I have done most wickedly
   Could people all be satisfied
   To live in poverty.

   My name is William Haley
   My age is twenty one
   I never injured any man
   Nor ever did any wrong
   Until this cruel murder
   I have done most shamefully
   Could people all be satisfied
   To live in poverty.

   Now I'm going to part this life
   There's one request I crave
   To have this put on my headstone
   When I am in my grave.
