Music: trad. Hungarian (?)
Lyrics: adapted from the English traditional song "Lovely on the Water"
Our Queen has called for sailors bold
So I will not stay on shore
We must face the wars my love
Where the cannons loud do roar
Come change your ring with me my love
For we may meet once more
There's One above will guard you love
Where the blund'ring cannons roar
Tower Hill is crowded
With women weeping sore
For their husbands, sons and sweethearts
Gone to face the cannons' roar
