A Gallant Sea Fight

Printed for J. Kendrew, Colliergate, and Johnson, Goodramgate (York c1800, slip)

There was a ship from England came, (A gallant ship..)
Launch'd off the stocks, bound to the main,
Her keel was oak, and her sides were box,
A gallant ship launch'd off the stocks.

Launch'd off the stocks, bound to the main,
Full fifty guns on her deck lay plain, (Decks plain)
Besides five hundred valiant men, (550)
Were pick'd and chosen every one.

We weigh'd our anchors unto the bow,
And on the ocean we did plow, (through the oceans)
As we were plowing the ocean deep,    (sailing through the deep)
Five sail of Frenchmen we chanc'd to meet. (5 jolly F)

It being late when we did meet,
Night coming on, our lives were sweet
We did prepare till the break of day, (We put it off till ...)
And then began the bloody fray.

The first broadside that they did send, (they gave us then)
Which proved fatal in the end; (Full sore it was to every man)
We had not less than thirty men (There were no less than 50 men)
Kill'd and wounded by them then. (by the gun)

We did salute them with the same,
Powder and ball so thick it came; (they)
Our captain, like a valiant man, (being a)
He on the quarter-deck did stand. (Upon the q-d he came)

Fight on, fight on, brave boys, said he, (my boys)
While we are seamen on the sea;
It shan't be said that we will run, ( .never shall be said we run)
While we have life to discharge one gun. (so long as we can fire a gun)

O then bespoke our boatswain bold (Oh! then our Boatswain strait did cry)
Unto our captain's cabin boy, (Captain's little boy)
Go, get you up, and see what you can espy, (Go up aloft immediately)
And come you down immediately. (And see there what you can espy)

This little boy went up so high, (Cabin boy)
Powder and ball so thick did fly,
Sure our good God had a hand in this, (the great God)
That from him did all danger miss. (And did the boy from the...)

He spy'd three ships to the windward lay, (saw)
Came bearing down and made no stay; (bowling)
Came bearing down and made no stay,
Until they came to the bloody fray.

The first broadside that they did fire,
They thought to have made us their prize entire
But we made the French dogs protest
That English boys will make no jest. (lads)

If I must name these three ships to you, (those ships)
First was the Orange, the next the Looe, (Loo)
the third it was the Dreadnought gay, (The next it was the Unity)
That ended all the bloody fray. (Who made the Frenchmen quickly fly)

We took those French ships that day,
And had them unto Plymouth straitway,
While the music play'd and the bells did ring,
For joy we had brought those fine ships in.

The Pitts broadside lacks the last stanza, and sts 10&11 are shunted into one. The brackets contain the most significant differences to the Kendrew slip. The Pitts sheet is a broadside of 2 ballads and my copy comes from the Madden Collection. My reference is 2246 but the correct reference can be obtained from the VWML Roud Indexes. Both have the same title.
