History is reflected in the words of folk songs sung by some of our folk bands

Drake's Drum - - Drake he's in his hammock and a thousand miles away, - Captain, art thou sleeping there below? - Slung atween the round shot in Nombre Dios Bay, - And dreaming all the time of Plymouth Hoe. - Yonder looms the Island, yonder lie the ships, - With sailor-lads a-dancing heel-an'-toe, - And the shore-lights flashing, and the night-tide dashing, - He sees it all so plainly as he saw it long ago. - Drake he was a Devon man, an' ruled the Devon seas, - Captain, art thou sleeping there below? - Roving tho' his death fell, he went with heart at ease, - And dreaming all the time of Plymouth Hoe. - "Take my drum to England, hang it by the shore, - Strike it when your powder's running low; - If the Dons sight Devon, I'll quit the port o' Heaven, - And drum them up the Channel as we drummed them long ago."
