kimber's men - the gallant frigate amphitrite lyrics

[verse 1]
the gallant frigate amphitrite, she lay in plymouth sound
blue peter at her foremast head, for she was outward bound
we were waiting there for orders, to send us far from home
our orders come for rio, and thence around cape h+rn

[verse 2]
we drank success to plymouth girls, to kate and poll and sue
and arguing o’er their various charms, stuck up a fight or two
jim crab he landed bonny hodge a clout that made him snort
and to this day his nose has got a heavy list to port

[verse 3]
when we arrived in rio we prepared for hеavy gale
we put on all new riggin’ boys, and bеnt on all new sail
from ship to ship they cheered us, as we did sail along
and they wished us pleasant weather in the rounding of cape h+rn

[verse 4]
whilst beating, off magellan strait, it blew exceeding hard
whilst shortening sails, two gallant tars fell from the topsail yard
by angry seas the rope we threw, from their poor hands were torn
we were forced to leave them to the sharks that prowl around cape h+rn

[verse 5]
when we got ’round the h+rn, me boys, we had some glorious days
and very soon our k!ll!ck dropped in valparaiso bay
them pretty girls come down in flocks; i solemnly declare
they are not like them plymouth girls with their long and their curly hair
[verse 6]
for they love the jolly sailor, when he spends his money free
they’ll laugh and sing and merry merry be, they enjoy a jovial spree
and when your money is all gone they won’t on you impose
they are not like them plymouth girls who’ll steal and p+wn your clothes

[verse 7]
farewell to valparaiso, and farewell for a while
likewise them pretty spanish girls who dwell on the coast of chile
and if i ever be paid off, i’ll laugh and i’ll sing this song
god bless them pretty spanish girls we left around cape h+rn
