    (continued from previous page)
    Which made their English frown
    As fast as they could strike a blow
    The knocked the soldiers down
    The place was like a slaughter house
    For in the soldiers lay
    The Officer and all his men
    In cars was drawn away
    Before we do conclude those loins
    Let young and old unite
    And offer up a fervent prayer
    Both morning noon and night
    And hope the Lord he may pertect
    While in America.
