1. TO you fair Traders now a Shore, We South Sea Cullies write, Your kind Compassion to implore, This Ditty we indite; Pity your Brethren on the Main, Compell'd to change our Course in vain. With a fa, la, etc. 2. We are a wretched Motly Crew, More various than the Weather, Made up of Debtors Old, and New, Jumbled and tack'd together; Tars, Soldiers, Merchants, Transports, Tallies, Chain'd in a row like Slaves in Gallies. With a fa, la, etc. 3. We furnish'd Beer, We Guns and Balls, We Ships, or Money Lent, With Hemp enough to serve them all, O, may it so be spent! And since his Payments are so few, Give Caesar what is Caesars Due. With a fa, la, etc. 4. To fetch the Navy Pitch and Tar, We past the Stormy Sound; But now our Debts postpon'd so far, We must take t'other Round, And e'er we have our own again, Must shoot the Streights of Magellan. With a fa, la, etc.
5. And we poor Grasiers of the Plain, Who serv'd them Pork and Beef, Must take hard Words instead of Gain, And Charters for Relief; For Sound good Meat without a Hogo, They give us Bills on Terr' del Fuego. With a fa, la, etc. 6. We honest Tars, that oft come Home Without an Arm or Leg, Must hope no more for Trulls, or Rum, But be content to beg: Our Wages stop'd without Account, The Crew is all turn'd o'er to Blunt. With a fa, la, etc. 7. Two Scurvy Letters R, and Q Did long the Sea infest, Made some dispute and prove their Due, But still they paid the rest. This sweeping Torrent none can Stem, We're run aground on O, and M. With a fa, la, etc. 8. But come, my Lads, together stand, Let's suffer this no more: Shall we that on the Seas command, Be Bully'd thus a Shore? No, no, my Boys, pull th' Helm a-Lee, And Heave the Rogues into the Sea. With a fa, la, etc.
