Five men to guard the ^CBritish rank And ^Ffive to watch the ^Ctown above And ^Ftwo to stand at either ^Bbhand And ^Fone to let Bill ^CTanner ^Fout

He had eighty weight of ^CSpanish iron Be^Ftween his neck bone ^Cand his knee But ^FBilly took Johnny up under his ^Bbarm And ^Flugged him away right ^Cmanful^Fly

And Billy broke locks and ^CBilly broke bolts And ^FBilly broke all that ^Che came nigh Un^Ftil he came to the dungeon ^Bbdoor And ^Fthat he broke right ^Cmanful-^Faye

So he stole him a horse and a^Cway did ride And ^Fwho, what they rode ^Cgallantly Un^Ftil they came to the river ^Bbbank To the ^Friver runnin' ^Cwild and ^Ffree

The British were comin' close ^Con their heels And ^Fwho but they stood ^Cfearfully Till ^FBilly took Johnny up on his ^Bbback And ^Fcarried him over it ^Ceasi^Fly

And Billy broke locks and ^CBilly broke bolts And ^FBilly broke all that ^Che came nigh Un^Ftil he came to the dungeon ^Bbdoor And ^Fthat he broke right ^Cmanful-^Faye

So they called at the inn for a ^Croom to dance And ^Fwho but they danced ^Cmerrily And the ^Fvery best dancer among them ^Bball Was ^Fold John Webb who was ^Cjust set ^Ffree
