But they never met their match, till the Yankees did them catch Oh, the Yankee boys for fighting are the dandy, Oh. The Guerriere, a frigate bold, on the foaming ocean rolled Commanded by proud Dacres, the grandee, Oh! With as choice a British crew as ever a rammer drew Could flog the Frenchmen two to one so handy, Oh! When the frigate hove in view, says proud Dacres to his crew, "Come clear the ship for action and be handy, Oh! To the weather-gage, boys, get her." And to make his men fight better Gave them to drink, gunpowder mixed with brandy, Oh! Then Dacres loudly cries, "Make this Yankee ship your prize, You can in thirty minutes, neat and handy, Oh! Twenty-five's enough, I'm sure, and if you'll do it in a score I'll treat you to a double share of brandy, Oh!" The British shot flew hot, Which the Yankees answered not Till they got within the distrance they called handy, Oh! "Now," says Hull unto his crew, "Let us see what we can do, If we take this boasting Briton we're the dandy, Oh!" The first broadside we poured carried her mainmast by the board Which made this lofty frigate look abandoned, Oh! Then Dacres shook his head, and to his officers said, "Lord! I didn't think those Yankees were so handy, Oh!" Our secon told so well that their fore and mizzen fell, Which doused the royal ensign neat and handy, Oh! "By George!" says he, "We're done!" And they fired a lee gun While the Yankees struck up Yankee Doodle Dandy, Oh! Then Dacres came on board to deliver up his sword. Tho'loth was he to part with it, it was so handy, Oh! "Oh! Keep your sword," says Hull, "For it only makes you dull, Cheer up, and let us have a little brandy, Oh! Now, fill your glasses full, and we'll drink to captain hull And so merrily we'll push around the brandy, Oh! Johnny Bull may boast his fill, let the world say what it will, The Yankee boys for fighting are the dandy, Oh! @sailor @navy @Revolution @war recorded on old Folkways 10" by Wallace House also see LNDLDYFR filename[ CONSTGUR play.exe LNDLDYFR RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Cosmic Love Song, Costa Rica Native Anthem Text, Coulters Candy, Counting The Goats Cyfrir Giefr, Country Boy, Country Lass, Country Life, Country Roads, Courting Case, Coventry Carol, Cow Kicked Nelly, Cowboy Fireman, Cowboys Dream, Cowpuncher, Cows, Crafty Boy, Crafty Maids Policy, Craigie Hill, Crawdad, Crayfish, Crazy Man Michael, Cripple Creek, Croatia Anthem Text, Croatia Native Anthem Text, Crockery Ware, Crooked Jack, Croppie Boy, Crossing The Border, Crow On The Cradle, Crows In The Garden, Crucificixion Of Christ, Cruel Brother, Cruel Mother, Cruel War, Cuba Native Anthem Text, Cuckoo, Cuckoo Shes A Pretty Bird, Cuckoos Nest, Cumberland And The Merrimac, Cumberlands Crew, Cunnla, Cupids Garden, Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight, Curragh Of Kildare, Cushie Butterfield, Cutty Wren, Cutty Wren2, Cyprus Anthem Text, Cyprus Native Anthem Text, Cyril Said It All Before, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
