Old English
Language:
English
Now hark, all you gallants! Your ears I would tease
with a song of Lord Essex in the fight at Cadiz!
How he scuppered them Spaniards and hacked out their spleen,
For the glory of England and Elizabeth, our queen!
We've rounded the port, boys, the cannons they roar,
the sea's full of corpses and Spain is no more!
They bobbed on the tide, boys, the fat and the lean,
For the glory of England and Elizabeth, our queen!
