RUssel on the Ocean, Minding Turvils Motion, Made them to run at the noise of our Guns And Thoulon shall be their portion, The French must trot it home by Land, Whilst Russel on the Seas Command, Sound the Trumpet beat the Drum while the French do run, Sound the Trumpet, etc. Sound the Trumpet etc. Still before us. Now the Spring's a coming, Our English will be burning Your Towns that be builded near the Sea, You'll find the Seamen Booming; Then let your Armies all advance, Yet we'll lye on the Coast of France, Sounding Trumpet beating Drum while their Towns do burn. Sounding Trumpet, etc. Sounding Trumpet, etc. Unto Ashes. The Turk and the Barbarian, How the English Fleet do seare 'em, And make them to know before they do go, That the French shall dread and fear 'em, Now Monsieur bring out all you can, We'll fight you Ship, or Man for Man, Sound the Trumpet beat the Drum, if the French do come, Sound the Trumpet, etc. Sound the Trumpet, etc. We will fight 'em.
Each brave English Freeman Will be a jolly Seaman; With Russel we'll go for to fight the Foe, For the Honour of old England; Let Tourvil with his Fleet then come, Some we'll sink, and some we'll burn, Gun for Gun we'll give them too, while they cry Morblew, Gun for Gun, etc. Gun for Gun, etc. We are routed. The Turk, they are much grieved, Altho they still believed That the French Fleet could the English beat, But now they are deceived, In Tholoon they all do sneak and hide, Whilst Russel in the Straights do ride. Daring Tourvil for to come and bring out his Fleet, Daring, etc. Daring, etc. For to Fight us. Since the French are frighted, They by the World are slighted, For Russel the brave is Resolv'd for to have The English Nation Righted, He cares not what the French can do, Since the Red Squadron and the Blew Are full resolved for to be Masters of the Sea, Are full, etc. Are full, etc. spite of Monsieur.
