Come all you neighbours down to the shore Come mothers and children, to hear the ocean roar Come quickly now, my friends Before the setting Sun Come gather round on black rock beach To see that justice done Hot cider, hot cider, a penny with meat pie You can satisfy your appetite while you watch her die Now her lovely feet will never touch the ground So we'll raise our glasses to that gasping sound Her father was a pirate's son, her mother was a whore Father was a pirate's son, mama was a whore So it's no surprise she's hanging here, not breathing anymore Now her lovely feet will never touch the ground So we'll raise our glasses to that gasping sound For she had no right to wield her father's knife, no She had no right to wield her father's knife For she had a duty as a drunkard's wife Now her lovely feet will never touch the ground So we'll raise our glasses to that gasping sound So come quickly now my friends before the setting Sun Come gather round on Black Rock Beach to see that justice done
