Come all you British men of war
That love your native land!
I'll have you join The Victory
Lord Exmouth gives command
Lord Exmouth does his rights maintain
As you shall quickly see
We fought like many lions bold
To set old England free
So come all you British tars
And maintain your glorious name
May you always leave Lord Exmouth though
To lead you over the main
Oh, the first broadside we gave to them
We took 'em by surprise
We shot away their ensign staff
And down their colours lie
That's very well done our captain cried
That's bravely done cried he
Come load your guns, we'll prime them well
And show them British play
So come all you tars be steady
And maintain your glorious name
May you always leave Lord Exmouth though
To lead you over the main
Oh, the next broadside we gave to them
We struck them such a wonder
Their lower yards, their maintop masts
Came clattering down like thunder
That's very well done our captain cried
That's bravely done cried he
Come load your guns, we'll prime them well
And show them British play
Oh, now that we have won the glory
Let us drink a glass of wine
And if you will drink to your true love
Then I will drink to mine
