SCARED EN-.
In the sunny Cuban waters,
Alliance sailed one day
When from out a gunboat quickly
Spanish shots were sent her way.
And the loud reverberations
As they echoed to the shore,
Reused the eagle from his siumbers
With their deep and threatening roar.
Rolling then those jaundiced eyeballs,
Which the sun can not outstare,
To the land Of the Armada,
straight he rose into the air.
And he shook his bunch OF arrows,
Threw away his olive branch;
Made the Spaniards think he'd really
Garry off their little ranch
And his screams as they were uttered
In our Gresham's awful tones,
Froze the blood Of the hidalgos
n And the marrow in their bones.
