NO. 13: SONG (Grigg)
"I fired each barrel"
Grigg:
I fired each barrel;
Bang! bang! He fell, whop!
He begg'd and he pray'd me that I would stop;
I took him, I shook him,
With such strong vigour,
That helpless he was
As a dummy figure.
I took him,
I shook him,
With such strong vigour,
That helpless he was as a dummy figure,
That helpless he was as a dummy figure,
That helpless he was,
That helpless he was,
That helpless he was as a dummy figure.
I fired my pistols, Pop! pop! and my gun!
I broke all my weapons excepting one;
We wrestled, we struggled, I made him stagger,
Then ran him through twice
With my sword and my dagger.
We wrestled,
We struggled,
I made him stagger,
Then ran him thro' twice
With my sword and my dagger,
Then ran him thro' twice
With my sword and my dagger,
Then ran him thro' twice,
Then ran him thro' twice,
Then ran him thro' twice
With my sword and my dagger.
Bang! bang! He fell, whop!
He begg'd and he pray'd me that I would stop;
I took him, I shook him,
With such strong vigour,
That helpless he was
As a dummy figure.
I took him,
I shook him,
With such strong vigour,
That helpless he was as a dummy figure,
That helpless he was as a dummy figure,
That helpless he was,
That helpless he was,
That helpless he was as a dummy figure.
I fired my pistols, Pop! pop! and my gun!
I broke all my weapons excepting one;
We wrestled, we struggled, I made him stagger,
Then ran him through twice
With my sword and my dagger.
We wrestled,
We struggled,
I made him stagger,
Then ran him thro' twice
With my sword and my dagger,
Then ran him thro' twice
With my sword and my dagger,
Then ran him thro' twice,
Then ran him thro' twice,
Then ran him thro' twice
With my sword and my dagger.
