OH England is a pleasant place for them that's rich and high,
But England is a cruel place for such poor folks as I;
And such a port for Mariners I ne'er shall see again
As the pleasant Isle of Avés, beside the Spanish main.

All furnished well with small arms and cannons round about;
And a thousand men in Avés made laws so fair and free
To choose their valiant captains and obey them loyally.
