Constable give me water
           A
Water I desire
 Em                A

My inside's burning like fire

To make Matilda my wife
       Em                  A

And cut me with a sugarcane knife

Verse
 D
Constable I'm a-dying
                     A
I can feel it in my soul
    Em             A
And I can feel my hands hand feet
                D
Slowly growing cold
D
Evil man took my money
                         A
Won't you listen to my plea
 Em            A
Go and tell Matilda
               D
About my tragedy
 D
Tell Matilda that I love her
                      A
And tell her not to cry
 Em                 A
Tell her that I'll wait for her
                         D
In the land beyond the sky
