[The Signal to engage shall be]
The Signal to engage shall be
A Whistle and a Hollow;
Be one and all but firm like me.
And Conquest soon will follow.
You, Gunnel, keep the Helm in hand,
Thus, thus, Boys, steady, steady;
Till right a Head we see the Land,
Then soon as we are ready,
The Signal, &c.
A Whistle and a Hollow;
Be one and all but firm like me.
And Conquest soon will follow.
You, Gunnel, keep the Helm in hand,
Thus, thus, Boys, steady, steady;
Till right a Head we see the Land,
Then soon as we are ready,
The Signal, &c.
Keep, Boys, a good look out, d'ye hear?
'Tis for old England's Honour,
Just as you've brought your lower Tier
Broadside to bear upon her,
All Hands then, Boys, the Ship to clear,
Load all your Guns and Mortars,
Silent as Death th'Attack prepare,
And when you're all at Quarters,
The Signal, &c.
'Tis for old England's Honour,
