Governor Wall's Ghost.

TUNE—SNUG LITTLE ISLAND.

IN a terrible fright, I awake toother night,
Which very much did me appal, O!

And what should it be, disconcerted to me?

But the specific of Governor Wall O!

O poor Governor Wall O,

Thee were the words he let fall O!

And if you'll pay attention,

To you I will mention

The secrets of Governor Wall O!

O pity my fate! while my tale I relate,
And a tear of contrion let fall O!

Don't you know who I be? Lord my neck only
fee,

I'm the ghost of poor Governor Wall O!

O poor Governor Wall O,

Sure the fates had no pity at all O;

To the gallows to bring,

And there suffer to swinging,

Like a puppy—poor Governor Wall O!

When I liv'd at Goree, none so happy as me;
I had plenty to come at my call O,

For I liv'd at my eafe, and did just what I plea'd
Such power had Governor Wall O,

O poor Governor Wall O,

Now little I dream'd of this brawl O,

When the victim I ty'd,

To be flog'd for the pride

And ambition of Governor Wall O.

Poor Armrog he dy'd! that can't be deny'd,
Tho' I did not intend it at all O.

But that d-and villain death, put a stop to his
breath,

And now he's got Governor Wall O;

O poor Governor Wall O;

O how shall I anfwer my call O?

When alaif ! fo ill-fitted,

For murders committed,

Is the foul of of poor Governor Wall O;

For not he alone, I muſt candidly own,
And for crimes to be ſure they were ſmall O,

But many befide, with their blood gratify'd

The vengeance of Governor Wall O!

O poor Governor Wall O,

Priefts, bishops; and parions and all O,

Tho' they pray for my fate,

Never can expiate

The crime of poor Governor Wall O!

Ah! who could have thought, that a man ſo
well taught,

To the feſſold they over would hawl O?

Could I but have been, what the eafe would
have been.

They should ne'er have had Governor Wall O.

But, O poor Governor Wall O,

The danger he thought over all O,

When instead of acquitted,

Was only reprimed.

For hanging, poor Governor Wall O.

When first I was taken, I juſt fav'd my bacon

By bribing the rogue catters all O—

Eſcap'd out of Reading—ne'er ſtaid for a
bedding,

Such haffe impell'd Governor Wall O.

But, O poor Governor Wall O,

So foreely did guilt him appal O!

No reſt day or night,

I've enjoy'd ſince my flight,

So unhappy liv'd Governor Wall O.

But all that has pafft, from the first to the laſt

Hath surely been nothing at all O,

To the laſt ſcene of all, when they came forth
to call

From his dungeon poor Governor Wall O,

O then, poor Governor Wall O:

Lord ! how it did rile my gall O,

For the mob all elate,

So rejoic'd at my fate,

That they hooted poor Governor Wall O,

Like a dog then they ty'd, with a haler
applied,

To my neck, e'er the feſſold did fall O;

Then in great agitation, and ſtrange titillation,

Suspended hung Governor Wall O!

O then poor Governor Wall O,

So choak'd you'd ſay nothing at all O,

Till a chap at a beck,

Pull'd my legs, broke the neck

Of unfortunate Governor Wall O!

All this I endu'd, then a cart was procur'd,

And they dragg'd me away to the hatl O,

Where the whole to compleat was cut open
like meat

The body of Governor Wall G!

O, poor Governor Wall O;

Now I'm buried and got thro' it all O,

O take an example,

Of justice a ſample,

AND THINK UPON GOVERNOR WALL O.
