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

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

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

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

On board the Nottingham [00:00:11]

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

His name was Somerville [00:00:18]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Against a daring foe [00:00:58]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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