-
She's the daughter of the breezeB
She's the darling of the seasB
And we call her if you please the bright Medu saC
From beneath her bosom bareD
To the snakes among her hairD
She's a flash o' golden light the bright Medu saC
-
When the ensign dips aboveE
And the guns are all for loveE
She's as gentle as a dove the bright Medu saC
But when the shot's in rackF
And her forestay flies the JackF
He's a merry man would slight the bright Medu saC
-
When she got the word to goG
Up to Monte VideoG
There she found the river low the bright Medu saC
So she tumbled out her gunsH
And a hundred of her sonsH
And she taught the Dons to fight the bright Medu saC
-
When the foeman can be foundI
With the pluck to cross her groundI
First she walks him round and round the bright Medu saC
Then she rakes him fore and aftJ
Till he's just a jolly raftJ
And she grabs him like a kite the bright Medu saC
-
She's the daughter of the breezeB
She's the darling of the seasB
And you'll call her if you please the bright Medu saC
For till England's sun be setK
And it's not for setting yetK
She shall bear her name by right the bright Medu saC
