For who are so free as the sons of the waves

If they run why we follow and run them ashore

For if they won't fight us we cannot do more

They frighten women children and beaus 
G                     D          G            D  
But should their flat bottoms in darkness get o'er

Still Britons they'll find to receive them on shore
