Текст песни: The Escape Of Old John Webb + перевод

Five men to guard the British rank and five to watch the town about

And two to stand at either hand and one to let Bill Tenner out

He had eighty weight of Spanish iron between his neck bone and his knee

But Billy took Johnny up under his arm and lugged him away right manfully

And Billy broke locks and Billy broke bolts

And Billy broke all that he came nigh

Until he came to the dungeon door

And that he broke right manfully

So they stole them a horse and away did ride

And who but they rode gallantly

Until they came to the river bank

To the river runnin' wild and free!

The British were comin' close on their heels

And who but they stood fearfully

'Till Billy took Johnny up on his back

And carried him over, right easily

And Billy broke locks and Billy broke bolts

And Billy broke all that he came nigh

Until he came to the dungeon door

And that he broke right manfully

So they called at the inn for a room to dance

And who but they danced merrily

And the very best dancer among them all

Was old John Webb who was just set free!
