It was on the trail of riches, we set off upon that day
       Am                             B
To the Castle keep of Carisbrooke, to where the treasure lay
    Em                              G
And soon I found the diamond at the bottom of the well
         Am                           B
But that traitor of a Turnkey, to his death below he fell

"Have a care, have a care,

T'was evilly come by and no good will you find there

Have a care, have a care,
      C                   G        D      C     D         Em
T'was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there -  have a care!"
 
 
      Em                                 Bm
Then across the sea to Holland, with the jewel in my hand
         Am                               B
Where we went to sell our treasure at the house of Aldebrand
        Em                                  G
When he said it was no diamond, through the window it was tossed
         Am                               B
But that wicked man was lying and we were caught in a double-cross
 
 
        Em

Throw him into jail let him rot forever
