| Citation | RAG.780.116 30 May 1780:23 (283) The following new Song is taken from a late London paper. Ye hearts of oak, who wish to try Your fortunes on the sea, And Britain's enemies defy, Come enter here with me: Here's five pounds bounty, two month's pay, And leave to go ashore, With pretty girls to kiss and play-- Can British tars wish more? . . . [2 more verses, with refrain on last line, "Can British tars wish more?"] |
