THE BOLD PRINCESS ROYAL


O where are you bound to and where do you go?
We're the bold Princess Royal bound for Callao.

O clew up your topsails and heave your ship to,
For I have a letter to send there by you.

I'll clew up my topsails and heave my ship to,
But it'll be in some harbour, not alongside of you.

They chased us to the westward by night and by day,
They chased us to the east'ard and made no headway.

They shot at our sails but to no avail,
And the bold Princess Royal soon showed them her tail,
