As I was walking through yon garden
I spied my lover strip
She was laying with another lover
And I sank just like a ship

As his hands caressed her
I saw him lay a kiss her lips
Then I weakened and fell to the floor
I sank just like a ship

My heart and my fist they pounded
Like a slave being beaten with a whip
I felt like fate had burnt my cards
And I sank just like a ship

As I confronted my rival
Into his chest my dagger did slip
I kicked him unto the cold hard ground
And he sank just like a ship
