Primeiro acorde: A 3 acordes identificados
[Verso 1]
An American frigate the "Richard" by name
Mounting guns forty-four, from New York she came.
For to cruise in the channel of old England's fame
With a noble commander, Paul Jones was his name.
Refrain
Hurrah! Our country forever, hurrah!
[Verso 2]
We had not sailed far before two sails we spied
A stout forty-four and a twenty likewise,
And forty bold shippin', all laden with store,
As the convoy stood in for the old Yorkshire shore.
Refrain
Hurrah! Our country forever, hurrah!
[Verso 3]
Our brave Captain Jones, to his men he did say:
"Let ev'ryman fight a good battle today.
We'll take that bold convoy in the height of her pride,
'Fore the Richard shall founder and sink in the tide."
Refrain
Hurrah! Our country forever, hurrah!
[Verso 4]
The battle rolled on until bold Pearson cried:
"Have you struck your colors? Then come along side."
But so far from thinkin' the battle was won,
John-Paul Jones replied: "I have not yet begun"
Refrain
Hurrah! Our country forever, hurrah!
[Verso 5]
We fought them four glasses, four glasses so hot,
Till fifty bold sailors lay dead on the spot,
And fifty-five others lay stretched in their gore,
While the thundering cannons most fiercely did roar.
Refrain
Hurrah! Our country forever, hurrah!
[Verso 6]
The Alliance bore down and the Richard did rake,
Which caused the bold hearts of our seamen to ache;
But our shot flew so hot, that they couldn't stand long,
And the brave British colours came finally down.
Refrain
Hurrah! Our country forever, hurrah!
