    LYRICS:
    Come, all ye jolly Tinner boys, and listen unto me;
    I'll tell you all a story as you are bound to see,
    Concerning Boney Peartie, and the plans that he hath made
    To stop our tin and copper mines, and all our pilchard trade.
    Hurray for tin and copper, boys, and fisheries likewise!
    Hurray for Cornish maidens - oh, bless their pretty eyes!
    Hurray for our old gentry, and may they never fail!
    Hurray, hurray for Cornwall! Hurray, boys, "one and all!"
    He summoned forty thousand men, to Poland they did go,
    For to rob and plunder there, you very well may know;
    Ten thousand there were killed, and laid dead in blood and gore,
    And thirty thousand runned away, I can’t tell where, I'm sure.
    And should that Boney Peartie have forty thousand still
    To make into an army for to work his wicked will,
    And try to invade us, if he didn’t quickly fly -
    Then forty thousand Cornish lads would know the reason why.
