ANOTHER SONG ON PAUL JONES.
TUNE LATER KNOWN AS, Ye Jacobites by name

You've all heard of Paul Jones, have you not, have you not ?
You've all heard of Paul Jones, have you not ?
You've all heard of Paul Jones, who in Galloway was born ;
A roving vagabond, is he not, is he not ?
                    A roving vagabond, is he not ?

You've all heard of Paul Jones, have you not, have you not ?
You've all heard of Paul Jones, have you not ?
How he came up to Leith Pier, and he fill'd the folks with fear,
And he fill'd the folks with fear, did he not, did he not ?
                    And he fill'd the folks with fear, did he not?

He is a bold outlaw, is he not, is he not ?
He is a bold outlaw, is he not ?
He is a bold outlaw, he has join'd Amerion,
To destroy his country a', has he not, has he not ?
                    To destroy his country a', has he not ?

The French King does him uphold, does he not, does he not ?
The French King does him uphold, does he not ?
The French King does him uphold, he robs for British gold ;
He is a Pirate bold, is he not, is he not ?
                    He is a Pirate bold, is he not ?

He took the Serapis, did he not, did he not ?
He took the Serapis, did he not ?
He took the Serapis, tho' the battle it was hot ;
But a rogue and vagabond, is he not, is he not ?
                    But a rogue and vagabond is he not ?

He went to Lord Selkirk's hall, did he not, did he not ?
He went to Lord Selkirk's hall, did he not ?
He went to Lord Selkirk's hall, robb'd plate and jewels all,
Which did his conscience gall, did it not, did it not?
                    Which did his conscience gall, did it not ?
