John Wall Callcott - Ye gentlemen of England - текст песни (слова)

You gentlemen of England, that live at home at ease,
 Ah little do you think upon the dangers of the seas.
 Give ear unto the mariners and they will plainly show
 All the cares and the fears, when the stormy winds do blow.
 
 If enemies oppose us, when England is at wars,
 With any foreign Nations we fear not wounds nor scars.
 Our roaring guns shall teach 'em our valour for to know,
 Whilst they reel on the keel, when the stormy winds do blow.
 
 Then courage all brave mariners and never be dismayed;
 Whilst we have bold adventurers we ne'er shall want a trade.
 Our merchants will employ us to fetch them wealth we know,
 Then be bold work for gold, when the stormy winds do blow.
