I Am an undaunted Seaman, and for King Charles I will fight: Ile venture my Life and my Fortune to defend my Countries right: What Enemies ever oppose us my Valour with them I will try, And in the Dukes sight, Ime resoved to fight with a full resolution to Dye. My joyes lies on the Maine Ocean, and my Hammock supports my head, The Bottom shall be my portion wherein my Grave shall be made: Before the Butter-Box shall my Brother abuse, my Crimson Blood it shall flye, Then tack about Fleet, let Trump and us meet, for I came to the Seas to Dye.
Now Jocky begins to be civil, and aloud for a King he doth cry: The Dutch are as false as the Devil, still working of Tretchery: With the sound of our Drums, and smoak of our Guns, we mean for to darken the Skie, For the Duke & his Fleet, once more will you meet with a full resolution to Dye. Slip not your Necks out of your Collars, but come on with a chearful heart: We mean to have some of your Dollars before that our Fleets do part: Then drink up your Brandy-wine cheerely, to Trump and his Company, For the Duke & his Fleet, once more will you meet with a full resolution to Dye.
BRave General Monck will defeat you, and teach you good manners to know, You know that before he did beat you and made you to cringe full low: Hel make you all know to your sorrow, twere better Peccavi to cry, Then for to stand out, the tother odd bout, and in the Seas perish and Dye. Stout Smith that Noble Commander, of his Valour again you must taste: Hele shew you the English banner and send you away at a blast, As Opdam was served before you when into the Aire he did flie: Then you will repent, that ere you were bent upon the Main Ocean to Dye. Brave Holmes and Mimms they have vowed, for Charles our King they will stand, The Rebells they shall be subdued and quelld in the turn of a hand: For whilst that our Ships can sail Boyes, we scorn a Ships length for to flie: Pay your money with speed, for that we do need, or else come to the Seas to Dye.
The Seas were never so graced, with so many brave Gallants before, Your Men of War shall be chased and beaten home to your own door: Wel block you up in your own Harbours, and your Cannon Bullets shall flye, For the Duke & his Fleet, once more will you meet with a full resolution to Dye. What must we still wait on your leasure, or is not your Money yet Coynd, We mean to have some of your treasure for no Children of us you shall find: We scorn for to wait on such Puppies, we have other Fish for to fry: Then hang up your states, your Masters & mates, that sent you to Seas for to Dye. Then leave of your Jeering and Mocking, and Murmure at home and Repine, Tis better then for to be Knocking upon the Salt Ocean Brine: Then cast up your Caps and be merry, brave English Boyes let them flye, And pray for King Charles and his Navy and let the Proud Hollanders Dye.
