Poor Little Son of Mine

Poor little son of mine, don't do what I have done

Oh poor little son of mine, don't do what I have done

For I've led a violent life

cnd I've widowed good men's wives

cnd I will surely answer for my sins when death comes round

I regret near all I've done

My actions I disown

I'm proud of only one

That's killing mean Captain Jones

Killing mean Captain Jones

Poor little son of mine, don't do what I have done

Oh poor little son of mine, don't do what I have done

For I've blackened fair girls names

Rich and poor it was all the same

cnd surely none will miss me when the cold earth takes my bones

I regret near all I've done

Since first that I began

I'd take back all but one

That sweet little Mary-cnne

That sweet little Mary-cnne

So though you have my blood

I pray my nature dies

When I'm swallowed by the flood

cnd the priest closes my eyes

The priest closes my eyes
