the revels chorus - drake's drum lyrics

Loading...

drake, he’s in his hammock and a thousand miles away
captain, art thou sleeping there below?
slung a’tween the round shot in nombre dios bay
and dreaming all the time of plymouth home

yonder looms the island, yonder lie the ships
with sailor+lads a+dancing heel and toe
and the shore+lights flashing, and the night+tide dashing
he sees it all so plainly as he saw it long ago

drake, he was a devon man, and ruled the devon seas
captain, art thou sleeping there below?
roving though his death fell, he went with heart at ease
and dreaming all thе time of plymouth home
take my drum to england, hang it by thе shore
strike it when your powder’s running low
if dons sight devon, i’ll quit the port of heaven
and drum them up the channel as we drummed them long ago

drake, he’s in his hammock ’til the great armadas come
captain, art thou sleeping there below?
slung a’tween the round shot, listening for the drum
and dreaming all the time of plymouth home

call him on the deep sea, call him up the sound
call him when you sail to meet the foe
when the old trade’s plying and the old flag flying
they shall find him ‘ware and waking, as they found him long ago
