Jennings' Revenge |
1714 that was the year |
The Spanish fleet ran out of luck |
The weather was stormy |
The sea was lashing, furious |
Lightning and thunderstruck |
Three hundred men |
Fighting hand in hand |
Abandonment or raid |
Tons of 'pieces of eight' |
The 'Flotilla' was driven |
Down to the reefs |
The wooden hulls of the vessels |
Were cracked |
300 000 'pieces of eight' |
The fleet of that year |
Was totally wrecked |
Three hundred men |
Fighting hand in hand |
Abandonment or raid |
Tons of 'pieces of eight' |
The viceroy commanded |
To furnish a squad |
60 soldiers to dreg up the plate |
Fool all their salvage |
To a small camp ashore |
Lack of suspicion |
No thought of a raid |
Jennings came up With a hazardous plan |
The Spanish garrison |
Was taken by guise |
Three sailing vessels |
Three hundred men |
300 000 their glittering prize |
Three hundred men |
Fighting hand in hand |
Abandonment or raid |
Tons of 'pieces of eight' |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh The Spanish plate hauled off by raid |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Jennings' trick a painful kick |
During their escape |
They happened to spy |
A gorgeous Spanish merchant ship |
'In for a penny, in for a pound' |
They got them in their steely grip |
And several thousand |
'Pieces of eight' |
To fill their ships up to the deck |
Jennings' fleet sailed out to sea |
No one ever found his track |
Three hundred men |
Fighting hand in hand |
Abandonment or raid |
Tons of 'pieces of eight' |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh The Spanish plate hauled off by raid |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Jennings' trick a painful kick |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Impudent tries will win the prize |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh No soldier pack will find his track |
