# Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1800, "Gragal Ma Chree")/Tom Tough

Tom Tough.
My name d’ye ſee’s Tom Tough, I have ſeen a little ſervice, Where mighty billows rol and loud tempeſts blow I’ve ſail’d with vailent Howe, I’ve ſail’d with noble Jervis And in gallant Duncan’s fleet I’ve sung out Yo heave, ho! Yet more ye ſhall be knowing I was Cockſwain to Buſcawen, And even with brave Hawke, I‘ve noble fac‘d the foe Then put round the grog ſo we‘ve that, and our prog We‘ll laugh in care’s face, and ſing Yo, have, ho!
When from my love to part, I firſt weigh‘d anchor, And ſhe foiveling, was ſeen on the beach below, I’d like to hurt my eyes, ſnivelling too, d‘ye ſee to thank her! But I brought my ſorrows up with a Yo, heave ho!
For tailors tho‘ they have there jokes and love and feel like other folks Their duty to neglect, muſt not come and go So I ſeiz’d the capſtern bar, like a true honeſt, tar, And in ſpite of ſighs and tears, ſung Yo, heave ho!
But the worſt on‘t ‘twas the time, when the little ones were ſickly,
Whether they‘d live or die the docter did not know, The word was given to weigh ſo ſuddenly and quickly, Thought my heart would break and ſung Yo, heave ho!
For Poll‘s like her mother and as ſo, Jack her brother, The boy when he grows up, will nobly fight the foe, But in providence I truſt, whatever muſt be muſt Be my ſighs I gave the winds and ſung out Yo, heave ho!
And now at laſt laid up in a decentiſh condition, For I‘ve only loſt an eye and got a timber toe. At old ſhips muſt expect in time to be out of commiſſion, But again to weigh anchor, with a Yo, heave ho!
I ſmoke my pipe and ſing old ſongs for my boys ſhall revenge my wrongs, And my girls ſhall breed young Sailors nobly for to face the foe. Then to country and King, Foes no danger can bring, While the Yars of Old England ſing out Yo, heave ho!

Nancy and the Handſome Serjeant.
You pretty maidens pray give attention, And liſten to what I now lay down, I’ll tell you of a fair lovely dameſel, who lately dwelt in fair Plymouth town.
She fell in love with a handſome ſerjeant, a gay light herſeman as you ſhall know.
⟨She ſa⟩ys, my dear, it‘s my inclination, ⟨a⟩t abroad with you I mean to go.
⟨He ſa⟩id my dear, there are great dangers, ⟨Be⟩fore we croſs the raging main, ⟨If I ſ⟩hould be ſlain in the field of battle, ⟨To⟩ you my dear, it would be much pain.
⟨You⟩ would be left in a foreign country, ⟨Pe⟩rhaps no friend you‘d find at all ⟨Beſid⟩es my dear there are great dangers, ⟨Y⟩ou might be ſlain by a cannon ball.
⟨She ſ⟩ays my dear, let me go with you, ⟨N⟩o foreign dangers will I fear, ⟨I’ll d⟩reſs myſelf in man‘s apparel, ⟨A⟩nd boldly enter volunteer.
⟨I am⟩ a girl that fears no danger, ⟨I’l⟩l boldly ſight with ſword in hand ⟨And⟩ when engag‘d in the field of battle, ⟨I’⟩ll always be at your command.
⟨A⟩n this young Serjeant gazed on hers ⟨T⟩o ſee thoſo melting tears ſo free. ⟨M⟩aid—my dear, you ſhall go with me, ⟨B⟩ecauſe your love‘s ſo true to me.
⟨You⟩ ſhall go with me acroſs the ocean, ⟨W⟩hile I have life I‘ll be true to thee, ⟨Pra⟩y God protect this female ſoldier, That fights for king and country.
⟨No⟩w Nancy‘s gone, like a vailant ſoldier, With her light horſeman acroſs the main, ⟨She⟩‘s left her friends and all relations, Behind her to lament and complain
⟨Th⟩e regiment it was bound for Flanders, and arrived ſafe the other day, ⟨Pra⟩y God protect this famous couple. ⟨t⟩hat fight for king and country.
# Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1800, "Gragal Ma Chree")/The Disconsolate Sailor

The Diſconſolate Sailor.
When my money was all gone that I gain‘d in the wars, And the world ‘gan to frown on my fate, What matter‘d my zeal or my honoured ſcars, When indiference ſtood at each gate
The face that would ſmile when my purſe was well linn‘d, Show‘d a different aspect to me; And when I could nouhgt but ingratitude find I hied once again to the ſea.
I thought it unwiſe to repine at my lot, Or to bear with cold looks on the ſhore; So I pac‘d up the triflinf remains that I got, And a trifle alas was my ſtore.
A handkerchief held all the treaſure I had, Which over my ſhoulder I threw: Away then I trudg‘d with a heart rather ſad, To join with ſome jolly ſhip‘s crew,
The ſea was leſs troubled by far than my mind For when the wide main I ſurvy‘d I could not help thinking the world was unkind And fortune a ſlippery jade
And I vow’d if once I could take her in tow I‘d let the ungrateful ones ſee That the turbulent winds and billows could ſhow More kindneſs than they did to me.
Finis.
# Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1800, "Gragal Ma Chree")/The Death of Queen Jean

The death of Queen Jean.
Queen Jean who was in labour for ſix weeks and more, As the woman tired and quite have her o‘er, O woman! O woman! O woman you be, May ſend for my mother to come and ſee me.
Her mother was ſent for, and immediately came, And ſat on the bed ſide along with Queen Jean,
O mother! dear mother! my mother you be, Pray ſend for King Henry to come and ſee me.
King Henry he came the curtains drew back, And ſaid my dear Jean pray what would you ſay? King Henry! King Henry! King Henry you be, Pray ſend for the doctor to come and ſee me.
The doctor was ſent for, and immediately came, And ſat on the bed-ſide along with Queen Jean. O doctor! dear doctor! a doctor you be, Pray open my right ſide, and ſave my babes.
He gave her a drink, and ſhe fell in a ſwoon, He open‘d her ſide, and the babes they were found, The babes they were chriſten‘d without joy or mirth, And the flower of old England was laid in the earth.
Black was the kitchen, and black was the hall, And black were the ladies who attended them all, Black were their aprons and black were their fans, And black were the gloves they wore on their hands.
Six and ſix coaches and ſix more, And royal King Henry went morning before, With a clock of black velvet hung down to the ground And the flower of old England was laid in the ground.
