Flash Frigate

sł. trad.
mel. trad. "Flash Frigate"

'twas on a flash frigate, flash frigate of fame,
We sailed to the Indies, "La Pique" was her name.
We suffered bad usage of every degree,
And we worked just like slaves as we ploughed the salt sea.

    Derry down, down, down derry down.
At four in the morning our work does begin
In our 'tween decks, I'll tell you, a bucket might swim.
Our main and top foreman so loudly do bowl,
For sand and for holystone both great and small.
    Derry down, down, down derry down.
Now our bosun comes up, boys, we know him so well,
He struts on the deck and he makes a great swell.
It's up on the yards, boys, or God damn your eyes!
I've pump handle here for to trim down your size.
    Derry down, down, down derry down.
Your quids of tobacco, brave boys you must mind.
If you spit on the deck it's your death warrant signed.
If you spit over bow, over gangway or stern,
You're sure of three dozen to help you to learn.
    Derry down, down, down derry down.
Come all brother seamen wherever you be.
From the frigate "La Pique" I would have you keep free.
For you'll work and you'll sweat, but you ain't worth a damn!
And you get send half dead back to merry England.
    Derry down, down, down derry down.
