Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDBEEB FFBGGB HHBIIB AABJJB| She's the daughter of the breeze | A |
| She's the darling of the seas | A |
| And we call her if you please the bright Medu sa | B |
| From beneath her bosom bare | C |
| To the snakes among her hair | C |
| She's a flash o' golden light the bright Medu sa | B |
| - | |
| When the ensign dips above | D |
| And the guns are all for love | D |
| She's as gentle as a dove the bright Medu sa | B |
| But when the shot's in rack | E |
| And her forestay flies the Jack | E |
| He's a merry man would slight the bright Medu sa | B |
| - | |
| When she got the word to go | F |
| Up to Monte Video | F |
| There she found the river low the bright Medu sa | B |
| So she tumbled out her guns | G |
| And a hundred of her sons | G |
| And she taught the Dons to fight the bright Medu sa | B |
| - | |
| When the foeman can be found | H |
| With the pluck to cross her ground | H |
| First she walks him round and round the bright Medu sa | B |
| Then she rakes him fore and aft | I |
| Till he's just a jolly raft | I |
| And she grabs him like a kite the bright Medu sa | B |
| - | |
| She's the daughter of the breeze | A |
| She's the darling of the seas | A |
| And you'll call her if you please the bright Medu sa | B |
| For till England's sun be set | J |
| And it's not for setting yet | J |
| She shall bear her name by right the bright Medu sa | B |
