The Ballad of Captain Ashford

 

The Ballad of Captain Ashford" 

"Oh your parents will teach you well 

for you sail for you sail 

To shun the gates of hell when you sail." 

 

"As most wickedly i did 

The Inner laws we did forbid 

Against them we rebel 

when we sail." 

 

"Oh my gang for sound for sound 

When I steer when I steer 

Oh my gang for sound for sound 

When I steer when I steer 

 

Oh my gang for sound for sound 

and the many ships we found 

and all of them we burned 

When we sailed." 

 

"Me was sick and nigh to death 

Tili go tili go 

Me was sick and nigh to death 

tili go tili go 

 

Me was sick and nigh to death 

 but I vowed with my every breath 

For go with wisdom ways 

When I sail." 

 

"To the execution dock i have come 

Tili go to the execution block 

for to sail"

 

I was sick and nigh to death 

but I vow with my every breath 

For go with wisdom ways 

when I sail."
