At last when the choice was neither nor,

Bottom of the bay we're set ashore.

Went into town beg what we lack:

200 stripes on horseback.

Wearing my yellow coat,

Rope tied around my throat:

Great green wax candle unlit;

Silence! And then the sentence spit.

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree

Wait they make mango mush outta me.

Pick axe I can't stay

Silver mines all day.

Cut down the weedwood

And think that I just could.

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree

Wait they make mango mush outta me.

Tied down with brown twine

Up past the tree line

Up by I hope where

The King of Spain don't care.

I'm sitting up in my paw paw tree

Wait they make mango mush outta me.
