1 Come all my bold fellows wherever you may be 
That has got a mind to cross the salt sea,

2 We'll go on board The Quaker and soon you will find 
Our ship she is well rigged and sails like the wind.

3 Our ship's sealed up like waxwork in every degree. 
Our ship she is well rigged and fitted for the sea.

4 We're five hundred and fifty bright seamen so bold, 
And, by those blooming French dogs, we'll never be controlled.

5 We fought them for hours, till they could no longer stay, 
Whjle big guns and small guns sweetly did play.

6 Till the dead lay on our decks, boys, most loud to complain, 
And the blood rushed through the scuppers like showers of rain.

7 So now the war is over and homeward we do steer 
Unto our wives and sweethearts and the girls we love so dear.

8 And this is my good health, boys, to the girl that shall prove true; 
Likewise unto Lord Nelson, the best of all our crew.
