| I lost it in the sand | B |
| And though the sum was simple | C |
| And pounds were in the land | B |
| Still had it such a value | D |
| Unto my frugal eye | E |
| That when I could not find it | F |
| I sat me down to sigh | E |
| - | |
| I had a crimson robin | A |
| Who sang full many a day | G |
| But when the woods were painted | H |
| He too did fly away | G |

| I had a star in heaven | A |
| One Pleiad was its name | J |
| And when I was not heeding | L |

| And all the night ashine | A |
| I do not care about it | F |
| Since none of them are mine | A |

| My story has a moral | C |
| I have a missing friend | M |
| Pleiad its name and robin | A |
| And guinea in the sand | B |
| And when this mournful ditty | N |
| Accompanied with tear | O |
| Shall meet the eye of traitor | P |
| In country far from here | Q |
| Grant that repentance solemn | A |
| May seize upon his mind | R |
| And he no consolation | A |
| Beneath the sun may find | R |
