“ While o'er the ship wild waves are beating,
We for wives and children mourn;
Alas! from hence there's no retreating,
Alas! to them there's no return.
Still the leak is gaining on us,
Both chain pumps are choak'd below;
Heav'n have mercy here upon us,
For only that can save us now.
O'er the lee beam is the land, boys
Let the guns o'erboard be thrown,
To the pump come ev'ry hand, boys,
See, our mizen mast is gone.
The leak we've found, it cannot pour fast,
We've lighten'd her a foot or more;
Up and rigg a jury fore-mast;
She rights, she rights, boys, we're off shore. ”

“ His strength restor'd, Tom nobly ran
To cheer his bride, his destin'd bride;
But false report had brought to Nan,
Six months before, that Tom had died.
With grief she daily pin’d away,
No remedy her life could save ”

“ The highland tartan plaid, renown'd,
⁠And bonnet blue, an' a' that,
Has been with martial glory crown'd,
⁠Out owre the world, an' a' that.
An' a' that, an' a' that,
⁠Unconquer'd still, an' a' that,
The gallant badge of Liberty,
⁠An' Freedom's cause, an' a' that. ”
