-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1714 that was the year.
The Spanish fleet ran out of luck.
The weather was stormy. The sea was lashing. 
Furious lightning and [bad word] 
 [bad word] 
Three hundred men
fighting hand in hand.
Abandonment or raid.
Tons of 'pieces of eight'.

The Flotilla was driven down to the reefs.
The wooden hulls of the vessels were cracked.
300 000 pieces of eight.
The fleet of that year was totally wrecked.
 [bad word] 
Three hundred men
fighting hand in hand.
Abandonment or raid.
Tons of pieces of eight.

The [bad word] to furnish a squad.
60 soldiers to dreg up the plate.
Took all their salvage to a small camp ashore.
Lack of suspicion, no thought of a raid.
Jennings came up with a hazardous plan.
The Spanish garrison was taken by guise.
Three sailing vessels, three hundred men.
300 000 - their glittering prize.
 [bad word] 
Three hundred men
fighting hand in hand.
Abandonment or raid.
Tons of pieces of eight.
 [bad word] 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
The Spanish plate hauled off by raid.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Jennings' trick - a painful kick.

During their escape they happened to spy
a gorgeous Spanish merchant ship.
"In for a penny, in for a pound" -
they got them in their steely grip.
And several thousand pieces of eight
to fill their ships up to the deck.
Jennings' fleet sailed out to sea.
No one ever found his track.
 [bad word] 
Three hundred men
fighting hand in hand.
Abandonment or raid.
Tons of pieces of eight.
 [bad word] 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
The Spanish plate hauled off by raid.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Jennings' trick - a painful kick.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Impudent tries will win the prize.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No soldier pack will find his track.
