| 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
|
| «Have a care, have a care
|
| 'Twas evilly come by and no good will you find there
|
| Have a care, have a care
|
| 'Twas evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there, have a care
|
| 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
|
| Have a care, have a care
|
| 'Twas evilly come by and no good will you find there
|
| Have a care, have a care
|
| 'Twas evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there, have a care
|
| What 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?
|
| 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
|
| Have a care, have a care
|
| 'Twas evilly come by and no good will you find there
|
| Have a care, have a care
|
| 'Twas evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there, have a care |
