I did not like my master He did not use me well I formed a resolution Not long with him to dwell
Unbeknowing to my parents I vowed I'd run away I steered my course for Holland And cursed be that day!

Long time I did feel guiltless But that was all in vain They swore so hard against me That I was sent to jail
From jail to execution They dragged me to a tree Come all that stands around me My cruel fate you see
Don't glory in my downfall But pray do pity me They wrapped a rope around my neck And hung me from that tree
Farewell, my tender parents I bid this world adieu Farewell, my my charming Sally I died for love, nor you
