Chris De Burgh - Treasure and Betrayal
It was Emon the trail of riches, we set Bmoff upon that day
To the AmCastle keep of Carisbrooke, to Bwhere the treasure lay
And Emsoon I found the diamond at the Gbottom of the well
But that Amtraitor of a Turnkey, to his Bdeath below he fell
"Have a Emcare, have a care,
T'was Cevilly come by and no Ggood will Dyou find CthereD  
Have a Emcare, have a care,
T'was Cevilly stolen, only Gpain and Dsorrow Cthere D-  have a Emcare!"
Then aEmcross the sea to Holland, with the Bmjewel in my hand
Where we Amwent to sell our treasure at the Bhouse of Aldebrand
When he Emsaid it was no diamond, through the Gwindow it was tossed
But that Amwicked man was lying and we were Bcaught in a double-cross
"Have a Emcare, have a care,
T'was Cevilly come by and no Ggood will Dyou find CthereD  
Have a Emcare, have a care,
T'was Cevilly stolen, only Gpain and Dsorrow Cthere D-  have a Emcare!"
"GmWhat shall we do with the boy who's stealing?
FWhat shall we do with the boy who's stealing?
GmWhat shall we do with the boy who's stealing, Fearly in the Gmmorning?"
GmThrow him into jail let him rot forever
FThrow him into jail let him rot forever
GmThrow him into jail let him rot forever, Fearly in the Gmmorning!"
"Have a Emcare, have a care,
T'was Cevilly come by and no Ggood will Dyou find CthereD  
Have a Emcare, have a care,
T'was Cevilly stolen, only Gpain and Dsorrow Cthere D-  have a Emcare!"
