Damn the Defiant!

歌詞

Out in an English harbor waits an old but rugged ship Waiting for a crew of men so she can make her trip Out searching was the best gang that everyone knew well A-searchin' the streets & gutters so the Defiant could set sail The captain ordered to see the men to pick them for his crew Called for headstruck daughters but for all the good men too Out to sail this morning, Italy was her destiny To escort back a convoy that was helpless on the sea Chorus: The HMS Defiant sailed to live up to her name There was no word of mutiny aboard, but who was there to blame? The Defiant reached its destiny, no timber ships in sight So returning home, the French approached; the Defiant had to fight She captured herself a vessel with a chest of jewels aboard Along with the Frenchmen who advised Napoleon under his sword With Captain Culvert wounded was there not a man to care The first lieutenant took command with mutiny in the air The breakout be with 2 men named Evans & Vazar Commanded the mutineers to take the ship where they desired (chorus) The English were surrounded by the French who came to fight With love for England the mutineers turned to fight with all their might The Defiant walked through through fire & hell to save the Admiral Fleet A pardon keepin' the mutineers from making the French retreat (repeat & fade): The HMS Defiant sailed to live up to her name The word of mutiny now was gone & no man was to blame
