when I wrote...

Hide from the pressmen when they're in the street
Yo-Ho-Ho etc.
Liberty's Navy was never so sweet,
Yo- oh you know.

chorus

We'll each win a bounty with every prize
&c.
We'll fly the black pennant beneath Spanish skies
&c.

ch.

Now poor Danny Roper, he'll not see the land
&c.
He'll dance with the fishes to King Neptune's band
&c.

ch.

God grant us safe conduct till we step ashore
&c.
Our church is the tavern, our priest is the whore
&c.
