BRave Devonshire Boys made haste away, When Jews did come from Tinmouth-bay, The French were landed in that Town, And Treacherously had burnt it down. When to the Town they did draw near, The French did straightways disappear; Because that they had then beat down, And basely burnt down Tinmouth Town. On Halden-Hill they did design, [To] draw their Men up in a line; But Devonshire Boys did make them run, [When once] they did discharge a Gun.
Brave Blew-Coat Boys did watch them so, They to no other place dare go; For if they had return'd again, I'm sure the French-men had been slain. They for their coming to prepair, In Devonshire, if to land they dare; Ne'er doubt their Courage they'll pull down, For burning of poor Tinmouth Town. The French they'll shew an English Daunce, E're they again return to France; They wont forget their beating down, And burning of poor Tinmouth Town.
Let Monsieur then do what he can. We'll still Reign Masters o're the Main; Old Englands Right upon the [S]ea, In spight of France maintain'd shall be. No Seaman fears to lose his Blood, To justifie a cause so good; To fight the French, who have begun With burning of poor Tinmouth Town. The Cornish Lads will lend a hand, And Devonshire Boys will with them Band, To pull the pride of Monsieur down, Who basely burn'd poor Tinmouth Town. In our most Gracious King and Queen, Their Loyalty it shall be seen; With heart and hand they vow to fight, For to maintain King William's Right. I wish such Loyal hearts be found, In all the Counties England Round; Then let the French-man us approach, Their Brandy Vessels we will broach. We hope our Fleet will prove most just, In not betraying of their Trust, Then the French shall pay full sore, For Trespassing on our English-shore.
If in our hands they once do fall, They certainly shall pay for all, The Damage done in beating down, And burning of poor Tinmouth Town. Dutch-men of War they will us meet, For to compleat our Royal Fleet; Which being done they will [advance,] For to pull down the pride of France. Let's pray kind Heaven for to bless, Our Gracious Being with good [success] Then we shall all right happy be, For to Injoy our Liberty. We will advance King William's [fame], And add new Glorys to his name, The haughty Monsieur we'll pluck down, For to advance Old Englands Crown. Now England is so powerful grown, Poor Monsieur Totters in his Throne, Brave Boys with Courage let's proceed, No English-man will fear to bleed. Then let proud French-man all bewail, That E're they did to England Sail, Not words but blows shall make it out, When we with them have 'tother bout.
