A-dripping, a-dripping
On cobblestone stairs
A-tripping, a-tripping
O’er rolling death stares
A-singing, a-singing
Of murder in trees
A-ringing, a-ringing
Of bells from the seas
A dread man deading
A widow fretting
A crewmate letting
A rumor spreading
A noble losing
A captain choosing
A sword-arm bruising
A navy fusing
Beheading and treason
Forgetting all reason
The black beard’s a-seizing
Into hunting season
A-swaying, a-swaying
Of a mass of wood
A-praying, a-praying
Of men gone good
A-braying, a-braying
Of mules at port
A-laying, a-laying
Down shields and swords
