| Sends forth his midnight moans | B |
| Fierce wolves shall o'er my carcase growl | A |
| Or buzzards pick my bones | B |
| No fellow man shall learn my fate | C |
| Or where my ashes lie | D |
| Unless by beasts drawn round their bait | C |
| Or by the ravens' cry | D |
| Yes I've resolved the deed to do | E |

| This heart I'll rush a dagger through | E |
| Though I in hell should rue it | F |
| Hell What is hell to one like me | G |

| And wallow in its waves | J |
| Though devils yell and burning chains | K |
| May waken long regret | L |
| Their frightful screams and piercing pains | K |
| Will help me to forget | L |
| Yes I'm prepared through endless night | M |
| To take that fiery berth | N |
| Think not with tales of hell to fright | M |
| Me who am damn'd on earth | N |
| Sweet steel come forth from our your sheath | O |
| And glist'ning speak your powers | P |
| Rip up the organs of my breath | Q |
| And draw my blood in showers | P |

| Which drives me to this end | S |
| I draw and kiss the bloody dart | R |
| My last my only friend | S |
