《Warlike Seamen》歌词

[00:00:00] Warlike Seamen - Ian Robb/Terry Rudden/Seamus Mcguire/Grit Laskin

[00:00:02] Come all you warlike seamen

[00:00:05] That to the seas belong

[00:00:08] I'll tell you of a fight my boys

[00:00:11] On board the Nottingham

[00:00:14] It was of an Irish Captain

[00:00:17] His name was Somerville

[00:00:20] With courage bold did he control

[00:00:23] He played his part so well

[00:00:26] It was on the eighth of June my boys

[00:00:30] When at Spithead we lay

[00:00:33] On board there came an order

[00:00:36] Our anchor for to weigh

[00:00:39] Bound for the coast of Ireland

[00:00:42] Our orders did run so

[00:00:45] For us to cruise and not refuse

[00:00:48] Against a daring foe

[00:00:51] We had not sailed many lengths

[00:00:54] At sea before a ship we spied

[00:00:57] She being some lofty Frenchman

[00:01:00] Come a-bearing down so wide

[00:01:04] We hailed her off France my boys

[00:01:07] They asked from where we came

[00:01:09] Our answer was From Liverpool

[00:01:13] And London is our name

[00:01:16] Oh pray are you some man of war

[00:01:19] Or pray what may you be

[00:01:22] Oh then replied our Captain

[00:01:25] And that you soon shall see

[00:01:28] Come strike your English colours

[00:01:32] Or else you shall bring to

[00:01:34] Since you're so stout you shall

[00:01:37] Give out or else we will sink you

[00:01:41] The first broadside we gave to them

[00:01:44] Which made them to to wonder

[00:01:47] Their main-mast and their rigging

[00:01:50] Came a-rattling down like thunder

[00:01:53] We drove them from their quarter

[00:01:57] They could no longer stay

[00:01:59] Our guns did roar we made so sure

[00:02:03] We showed them British play

[00:02:29] So now we've took that ship my boys

[00:02:32] God speed us fair wind

[00:02:35] That we might sail to Plymouth

[00:02:37] I own if the heavens prove so kind

[00:02:41] We'll drink a health unto our Captain

[00:02:44] And all such warlike souls

[00:02:47] To him we'll drink and never flinch

[00:02:50] Out of a flowing bowl
