BRave Devonshire Boys made haste away, When News 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 streightways disappear; Because that they had then beat down, And hasely burnt poor Tinmouth Town. On Halden-Hill they did design, [?]o draw their Men up in a Line; B[u]t Devonshire Boys did make them run, When on[c]e they did [d]ischarge a Gun.
Brave Blew-Coat Boys did watch them so, They to no other place dare go; For if they had returnd again, Im sure the French-men had been slain. They for their coming do prepair, In Devonshire, if to Land they dare; Neer doubt their Courage theyll pull down, For burning of poor Tinmouth Town. The French theyll shew an English Daunce, Ere they again return to France; They want forget their beating down. And burning of poor Tinmouth Town.
Let Monsieur then do what he can, Well still Reign Masters ore the Main; Did Englands Right upon the Sea, In spight of France maintaind 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 burnd poor Tinmouth Town. To our most Gracious King and Queen, Their Loyalty it shall be seen; With heart and hand they vow to fight, For to maintain King Williams Right. I with such Loyal hearts be found, In all the Counties England Round; Then let the French-men 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. Lets pray kind Heaven for to bless, Our Gracious King with good success Then we shall all right happy be, For to Injoy our Liberty. We will advance King Williams fame, And add new Glorys to his name, The hawghty Monsieur well pluck down, For to advance Old Englands Crown. Now England is so powerful grown, Poor Monsieur Totters in his Throne, Brave Boys with Courage lets proceed, No English-man will fear to bleed. Then let proud French-men all bewail, That Ere they did to England Sail, Not words but blows shall make it out, When we with them have tother bout.
