THE YANKEE NET THE DON.
Commodore Dewey, with his fleet
Which sailed the China seas,
Had orders, Quickly sail and meet
The Spaniards, as you please"
He signalled to his ships around,
To gather near his own;
And when its station each had found
He made this message known:
1--WE go to fight the Spanish foe,
Make ready, every one;
Until we Lay each braggart low
Our duty is not done"
Then sailed they for their destined port,
On broad Manila Bay;
Soon, to the lookout, doomed a fort;
Beyond, Spaln's navy lay.
Through darkness, ere the dawn of day,
He sailed his ships "well In;
The Spaniards saw, In dire dismay,
Our feet in fighting TRIM
They scurried meath their fortress wall,
AS covering blusterers would;
But Admiral Dewey had the CALL"
And punched them where they stood.
Then tempest fire of shot and shell
Rained from bold Deweys decks,
While masts and shrouds and bulwarks
fell,
And ships sank, wreck with wrecks.
Now three times three for our brave men
Three more for each brave tarl
| They saw that Spanish fleet-and then
| Just here and there a spar.
