The Antigallican’s safe arriv’d, On board of her with speed we’ll hie; She’ll soon be fit to sail away; To the Antigallican haste away. Haste away, haste away, To the Antigallican haste away. For gold we’ll sail the ocean o’er, From Britain’s isle to the French shore; No ships from us shall run away;— To the Antigallican haste away. Haste away, &c. The Spaniards too, those cunning knaves, We’ll take their ships and make them slaves; Till war’s declar’d we’ll never stay; To the Antigallican haste away. Haste away, &c. If we should meet with a galloon, Our own we’ll make her very soon; Then drums shall beat and music play— To the Antigallican haste away. Haste away, &c. Our country calls us all to arms, To keep us safe from French alarms; Then let us all her voice obey, To the Antigallican haste away. Haste away, &c. When we are rich, then home we’ll steer, And enter Shields with many a cheer; To meet our friends so blythe and gay; To the Antigallican haste away. Haste away, &c. To Charlotte’s Head then let’s repair, We’ll be receiv’d with welcome there; We’ll enter then without delay; To the Antigallican haste away. Haste away, &c. |
