the shannon and the chesapeake - jerry bryant lyrics

Loading...

now the chesapeake so bold sailed from boston, we’ve been told
for to take the british frigate neat and handy*o
the people in the port all came out to see the sport
and the bands were playing yankee doodle dandy*o

the british frigate’s name which for the purpose came
to cool the yankee courage, neat and handy*o
was the shannon; captain broke, all her men were hearts of oak
and at fighting were allowed to be the dandy*o

the fight had scarce begun ‘ere they flinchéd from their guns
which at first they started working neat and handy*o
then brave broke he waves his sword, crying, “now, my lads, aboard
and we’ll stop their playing yankee doodle dandy*o!”

they no sooner heard the word then they quickly jumped aboard
and hauled down the yankee colours, neat and handy*o
notwithstanding all their brag now the glorious british flag
at the yankee mizzen peak was quite the dandy*o

here’s a health, brave broke, to you, to your officers and crew
who aboard the shannon frigate fought so handy*o
and may it always prove that in fighting and in love
the british tar for ever is the dandy*o
and may it always prove that in fighting and in love
the british tar for ever is the dandy*o
