JENNING'S REVENGE
  Music & lyrics: Rolf Kasparek
  1714 that was the year
  The Spanish fleet ran out of luck
  The weather was stormy
  The sea was lashing, furious
  Lightning and thunderstruck
  Three hundred men
  Fighting hand in hand
  Abandonment or raid
  Tons of 'pieces of eight'
    The 'Flotilla' was driven
  Down to the reefs
  The wooden hulls of the vessels
  Were cracked
  300 000 'pieces of eight'
  The fleet of that year
  Was totally wrecked
    Three hundred men
  Fighting hand in hand
  Abandonment or raid
  Tons of 'pieces of eight'
    The viceroy commanded
  To furnish a squad
  60 soldiers to dreg up the plate
  Fool all their salvage
  To a small camp ashore
  Lack of suspicion
  No thought of a raid
  Jennings came up
  With a hazardous plan
  The Spanish garrison
  Was taken by guise
  Three sailing vessels
  Three hundred men
  300 000 their glittering prize
    Three hundred men
  Fighting hand in hand
  Abandonment or raid
  Tons of 'pieces of eight'
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  The Spanish plate hauled off by raid
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Jennings' trick a painful kick
    During their escape
  They happened to spy
  A gorgeous Spanish merchant ship
  'In for a penny, in for a pound'
  They got them in their steely grip
  And several thousand
  'Pieces of eight'
  To fill their ships up to the deck
    Jennings' fleet sailed out to sea
  No one ever found his track
    Three hundred men
  Fighting hand in hand
  Abandonment or raid
  Tons of 'pieces of eight'
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  The Spanish plate hauled off by raid
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Jennings' trick a painful kick
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Impudent tries will win the prize
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  No soldier pack will find his track
