Five men to guard the British rank   And five to watch the town above   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 what 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   'Til Billy took Johnny up on his back   And carried him over it 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
