We steered from sound to sound, A Moorish ship we found; Her men we stript and bound while we sailed.
Upon the ocean seas while we sailed, etc., Upon the ocean seas while we sailed,
Upon the ocean seas
A warlike Portuguese In sport did us displease, while we sailed.
At famous Malabar when we sailed, etc., At famous Malabar when we sailed,
At famous Malabar
We went ashore, each tar, And robbed the natives there, when we sailed.
Then after this we chased, while we sailed, Then after this we chased, while we sailed,
Then after this we chased
A rich Armenian, graced With wealth, which we embraced, while we sailed.
Many Moorish ships we took while we sailed, Many Moorish ships we took while we sailed,
Many Moorish ships we took ;
We did still for plunder look; All conscience we forsook while we sailed.
I, Captain Cullifoord, while I sailed, etc., I, Captain Cullifoord, while I sailed,

Did many merchants board, Which did much wealth afford, while we sailed. .
Two hundred bars of gold, while we sail'd, etc.. Two hundred bars of gold, while we sailed,
Two hundred bars of gold
And rix dollars manifold We seized uncontrolled, while we sailed.
St. John, a ship of fame, when we sailed, etc., St. John, a ship of fame, when we sailed,

We plundered when she came, With more that I could name, when we sailed. |
