Gallant Frigate Amphitrite - Steeleye Span

The gallant frigate Amphitrite

She lay in Plymouth Sound

Blue Peter at her fore mast

Head for she was outward bound

We were waiting there for

Orders to send us far from home

Our orders came for Rio

And thence around Cape Horn

When we arrived at Rio

We prepared for heavy gales

We set up all our rigging boys

And bent on all new sails

From ship to ship they cheered

Us as we did sail along

And wished us pleasant weather

In the rounding of Cape Horn

While beating off Magellan Straits

It blew exceeding hard

While shortening sail two gallant

Tars fell from the topsail yard

By angry seas the ropes we threw

From their poor hands were torn

We were forced to leave them to the

Sharks that prowl around Cape Horn

When we got round the Horn

Me boys we had some glorious days

And very soon our killick

Dropped in Valparaiso Bay

Then pretty girls come down

In flocks I solemnly declare

They're far before them Plymouth girls

With the long and the waving hair

They love a jolly sailor

When he spends his money free

They'll laugh and sing and merry

Merry be and have a jovial spree

And when your money is all gone

They won't on you impose

They are not like them Plymouth girls

That'll pawn and sell your clothes

Farewell to Valparaiso

And farewell for a while

Likewise to all them Spanish

Girls along the coast of Chile

And if ever I live to be paid off

I'll sit and sing this song

God bless them pretty Spanish girls

We left around Cape Horn
