To see what poor Moses would have me to do;4 (Chorus)
The will it thus ran, "When I cease to live,
All my cash and my goods to my brother I give,
But on these conditions it's hard he must toil
To bury my body in real English soil".(Chorus) 5.
Moses was cut to pieces with chopper and knife,
He had never been cut up so much in his life,
Isaac wrote to his agent to tell him the plan,
And he begged him to bury the poor pickled man.(Chorus) 6.
It was from New York city, our ship it set sail,
With a barrel of pork, and some barrels of ale.(continues on next page)
