Oh, Men of Dark and Dismal Fate lyrics

[MAJOR-GENERAL]
Oh, men of dark and dismal fate
Forego your cruel employ
Have pity on my lonely state
I am an orphan boy!

[SAMUEL & PIRATE KING]
An orphan boy?

[MAJOR-GENERAL]
An orphan boy!

[Chorus OF PIRATES]
How sad, an orphan boy!

[MAJOR-GENERAL]
These children whom you see
Are all that I can call my own!

[Chorus OF PIRATES]
Poor fellow!

[MAJOR-GENERAL]
Take them away from me
And I shall be indeed alone!
[Chorus OF PIRATES]
Poor fellow!

[MAJOR-GENERAL]
If pity you can feel
Leave me my sole remaining joy -
See at your feet they kneel;
Your hearts you cannot steel
Against the sad, sad tale of the lonely orphan boy!

[PIRATE Chorus, PIRATE KING, & SAMUEL]
Poor fellow!
See at our feet they kneel!
Our hearts we cannot steel
Against the sad, sad tale of the lonely orphan boy!

[SAMUEL]
The orphan boy!

[SAMUEL & PIRATE KING]
The orphan boy!
See at our feet they kneel!
Our hearts we cannot steel
Against the sad, sad tale of the lonely orphan boy!

[PIRATE Chorus, PIRATE KING, & SAMUEL]
Poor fellow!
