In sea witch cove she may be found It is in skull cave she dwells And when the moon is full and round ‘Tis the future that she sells
And when you’re gold she has obtained Death-white bones is what she’ll cast But ‘ware her telling is not feigned ‘Tis the truth you’ll have at last
She tells it all; the light, the dark And to this you will be bound Whether the future’s sweet or stark ‘Tis your fate that she’ll have found
Good fortune can be hard to find When a pirates life you lead And the Witch’s sight is oft unkind ‘Tis bad fortune she may read
So if you go some moon filled night When the tide is running true The truth she finds may not be bright ‘Tis a knowledge you may rue!
