Folk Bands have a huge repertoire of traditional songs to choose from, such as:Warlike Seamen - - Come all you warlike seamen that to the seas belong, - I'll tell you of a fight my boys on board the Nottingham, - It's of a Irish captain his name was Somerville, - With courage bold did he control he played his part full well. - 2. It was on the Eighth of June my boys when at Spithead we lay, - On board there came an order our anchor for to weigh, - Bound for the coast of Ireland our orders did run so, - There to cruise and not refuse against our daring foe. - - 3. We had not sailed many lengths at sea before a ship we spied, - She being some lofty Frenchman come a-bearing down so wide, - She hailed us in French my boys and asked from where we came, - Our answer was from Liverpool and London is our name. - - 4. Oh pray are you some man of war oh pray what may you be, - Oh then replied our captain oh that you soon shall see, - Come strike your English colours or else you shall bring to, - Since you're so stout you shall give out or else we will sink you. |
