letra de royal oak - the jolly rogers

as we were sailing along the salt sea
we hadn’t been gone months, but two or three
when we saw ten sail, ten sail of turks
all men of war, full as big as we
“haul down your colors, you english dogs
haul down your colors, do not refuse
haul down your colors, you english dogs
or else your precious life you’ll lose!”

our captain being a valiant man
and a well-bespoken young man was he
“let it never shall be said that we died like dogs
but we shall fight most manfully!”
go up the loft, you cabin boys
and mount the mainmast a’topsail high
for to spread the news to king george’s fleet
that we’ll run the risk or else we’ll die!”
now the fight begun ’bout six in the morn
and on to the setting of the sun
and at the rising of the next dawn
when we saw ten ships, we couldn’t see but one
’cause three we sank, and three we burned
and three we caused to run away
and one we towed into portsmouth harbor
for to let them know we won the day

if anyone then should enquire
as to our gallant captain’s name
oh, captain wellfounder was our commander
but the royal oak was our ship by name
