Another Song on Paul Jones

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 rogue and 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 joined America,
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?
