I never told the buried gold

I never told the buried gold
Upon the hill--that lies--
I saw the sun--his plunder done
Crouch low to guard his prize.

He stood as near
Are stood you here--
A pace had been between--
Did but a snake bisect the break
My life had forfeit been.

That was a wondrous booty--
I hope't was honest gained.
Those were the fairest ingots
That ever kissed the spade!

Whether to keep the secret--
Whether to reveal--
Whether as I ponder
Kidd will suddensail--

Could a shrewd advise me
We might e'en divide--
Should a shrewd betray me--
Atropos decide!



Yo ho Yo ho
A prirate's life for me
We extort,we pilfer,
We filch and sack
Drink up!!!
You are my secret treasure ; )
