The Gallant Frigate Amphitrite Lyrics by Kimber’s Men
Don’t Take The Heroes
2006
[Verse 1] The gallant frigate Amphitrite, she lay in Plymouth Sound Blue Peter at her foremast head, for she was outward bound We were waiting there for orders, to send us far from home Our orders come for Rio, and thence around Cape Horn [Verse 2] We drank success to Plymouth girls, to Kate and Poll and Sue And arguing o'er their various charms, stuck up a fight or two Jim Crab he landed Bonny Hodge a clout that made him snort And to this day his nose has got a heavy list to port [Verse 3] When we arrived in Rio we prepared for hеavy gale We put on all new riggin' boys, and bеnt on all new sail From ship to ship they cheered us, as we did sail along And they wished us pleasant weather in the rounding of Cape Horn [Verse 4] Whilst beating, off Magellan Strait, it blew exceeding hard Whilst shortening sails, two gallant tars fell from the topsail yard By angry seas the rope we threw, from their poor hands were torn We were forced to leave them to the sharks that prowl around Cape Horn [Verse 5] When we got 'round the Horn, me boys, we had some glorious days And very soon our killick dropped in Valparaiso Bay Them pretty girls come down in flocks; I solemnly declare They are not like them Plymouth girls with their long and their curly hair [Verse 6] For they love the jolly sailor, when he spends his money free They'll laugh and sing and merry merry be, they enjoy a jovial spree And when your money is all gone they won't on you impose They are not like them Plymouth girls who'll steal and pawn your clothes [Verse 7] Farewell to Valparaiso, and farewell for a while Likewise them pretty Spanish girls who dwell on the coast of Chile And if I ever be paid off, I'll laugh and I'll sing this song God bless them pretty Spanish girls we left around Cape Horn
