O Cannonball

O cannonball, o cannonball
You rain death from high above
O cannonball, o cannonball
You rain death from high above
You bring the fog in summertime
And you glow red in Yuletide!
O cannonball, o cannonball
You rain death from high above!

O cannonball, o cannonball
So much pain you bring to all
How oft before at the battlefield
A ball like you has crippled me!
O cannonball, o cannonball
So much pain you bring to all!

O cannonball, o cannonball
Old England teaches me
That intrigues and piracy
End at the bottom of the seas!
O cannonball, o cannonball
Old England teaches me!

O cannonball, o cannonball
You rain death from high above
O cannonball, o cannonball
You rain death from high above
You bring the fog in summertime
And you glow red in Yuletide!
O cannonball, o cannonball
You rain death from high above!
