Set Paul Jones is a pirate,
no loy alty does he possess.
Keep it up, we'll catch the pirate,
and sink him along with the rest.
Set feet row, set feet row,
set feet row, set feet row
he was born the son of a Scot
But cut a man down in his prime,
he dared so away to Virginia he got
no loyalty does he possess
Give it up, we'll cast the pirate,
and sink him along with the rest
Ho! Set feet, row, set feet, row,
set feet, row, set feet, row
Raised the flag of the Yanks, he did,
raised the flag of the Yanks
They held him as a hero, they did,
and hoisted him up through the ranks
Ho! Jumbo Jones is a pirate,
no loyalty does he possess
Give it up, he'll catch the pirate,
and sink him along with the rest
Ho! Set feet row, set feet row,
set feet row, set feet row
Sailed at the head of the French, he did,
sailed at the head of the French
But they swindled him out of his cash,
so away from them all he did wrench
Ho! Jumbo Jones is a pirate,
no loyalty does he possess
Give it up, we'll cast the pirate,
and sink him along with the rest
Now he's kicking up storms in the Black Sea,
kicking up storms in the Black Sea
Fighting the Turks for the Russian Queen,
Oh! Jumbo Jones is a pirate,
no loyalty does he possess
Give it up, we'll cast the pirate,
and sink him along with the rest.
Oh! John Ball Jones is a pirate,
he may be just the Chancellor of Bass.
Give it up, we'll cast the pirate,
and sink him along with the rest.
