《Warlike Seamen(Bob， John， Jim & Ron)》歌词

[00:00:00] Warlike Seamen - The Copper Family

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

[00:00:04] That to the seas belong

[00:00:07] I'll tell you of a fight my boys

[00:00:11] On board the Nottingham

[00:00:15] It was of an Irish Captain

[00:00:18] His name was Somerville

[00:00:22] With courage bold did he control

[00:00:26] He played his part so well

[00:00:31] It was on the eighth of June my boys

[00:00:35] When at Spithead we lay

[00:00:39] On board there came an order

[00:00:42] Our anchor for to weigh

[00:00:46] Bound for the coast of Ireland

[00:00:50] Our orders did run so

[00:00:54] For us to cruise and not refuse

[00:00:58] Against a daring foe

[00:01:04] We had not sailed many lengths

[00:01:07] At sea before a ship we spied

[00:01:11] She being some lofty Frenchman

[00:01:15] Come a-bearing down so wide

[00:01:19] We hailed her off France my boys

[00:01:23] They asked from where we came

[00:01:27] Our answer was From Liverpool

[00:01:31] And London is our name

[00:01:36] Oh pray are you some man of war

[00:01:40] Or pray what may you be

[00:01:44] Oh then replied our Captain

[00:01:47] And that you soon shall see

[00:01:51] Come strike your English colours

[00:01:56] Or else you shall bring to

[00:02:00] Since you're so stout you shall

[00:02:03] Give out or else we will sink you

[00:02:10] The first broadside we gave to them

[00:02:14] Which made them to to wonder

[00:02:18] Their main-mast and their rigging

[00:02:21] Came a-rattling down like thunder

[00:02:27] We drove them from their quarter

[00:02:31] They could no longer stay

[00:02:35] Our guns did roar we made so sure

[00:02:40] We showed them British play

[00:02:45] So now we've took that ship my boys

[00:02:49] God speed us fair wind

[00:02:53] That we might sail to Plymouth

[00:02:56] I own if the heavens prove so kind

[00:03:01] We'll drink a health unto our Captain

[00:03:05] And all such warlike souls

[00:03:10] To him we'll drink and never flinch

[00:03:14] Out of a flowing bowl
