The battle rages, Is he in the strife or no? Now the cannons roar tremendous: Dare be meet his hostile foe? Ay, behold! see him and Perry! In the selfsame ship they fight; Though his messmates fall around him, Nothing can his soul affright. Ay, behold! a ball has struck him, See the crimson current flow: "Leave the deck," exclaimed brave Perry; "No," cries Bird, "I will not go". "Here on board I tuck my station, Ne 'er will Bird his colors fly; I'll stand by you, gallant captain, Til we conquer, lest we die. Still he fought, though faint and bleeding, Till our Stars and Stripes arose, Victory having gained our efforts, All triumphant o'er our foes. [Bird deserts; he is court-martialed and shot] See him kneel upon his coffin; Sure his death can do no good: Spare him! Hark! 0 God, they've shot him! See, his bosom streams with blood. Farewell Bird; farewell forever Friends and home you'll see no more Now his mangled corpse lies buried On Lake Erie's distant shore @war @soldier @death Printed in Folk-Songs of the South filename[ JAMEBIRD SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Jealous Lover, Jeelie Piece Song Skyscraper Wean, Jefferson And Liberty, Jennie Jenkins, Jennifer Gentle Modern, Jenny Jenkins, Jerseywocky, Jesse James, Jim Crow, Jim Jones Botany Bay, Jim Swaggart The Preacher, Jim The Carter Lad, Jimmy Raeburn, Jimmy Whelan, Jingle Bell Rock, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Vietnam, Jinny Wren Bride, Jock O Hazeldean, Jock O The Side, Jock Sheep, Jock Stewart, Joe Bowers, Joe Hill, Joe Hills Last Will, John Barleycorn, John Birch Society, John Bolyn, John Browns Baby, John Cherokee, John Hardy, John Henry, John Henry The Accountant, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, John John The Water Man, John Kanaka, John Maclean March, John Of Dreams, John Reilly, Johnny And Betsy, Johnny And Mollie, Johnny And Old Mr Henly, Johnny Be Fair, Johnny Blunt, Johnny Booker, Johnny Bull My Jo John, Johnny Come Down To Hilo, Johnny Doyle, Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye, Johnny Lad, 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
