Charles Howard's English Fleet
They fought against the Spanish armada
In Charles Howard's English fleet
The Queen paid nothing for their service
The sailors hungry with nothing to eat
A foul epidemic of deadly typhus
Swept through Charles Howard's fleet
It came from the Elizabeth Jonas
And the grim reaper they had to meet
How could a Queen be so ungrateful
They saved her country they saved her throne
Her sailors so brave and so faithful
Of her penny pinching they were shown
They fought against the Spanish armada
In Charles Howard's English fleet
The Queen paid nothing for their service
The sailors hungry with nothing to eat
How could a Queen be so ungrateful
They saved her country they saved her throne
Her sailors so brave and so faithful
Of her penny pinching they were shown
In Charles Howard's English fleet
The Queen paid nothing for their service
The sailors hungry with nothing to eat
A foul epidemic of deadly typhus
Swept through Charles Howard's fleet
It came from the Elizabeth Jonas
And the grim reaper they had to meet
How could a Queen be so ungrateful
They saved her country they saved her throne
Her sailors so brave and so faithful
Of her penny pinching they were shown
They fought against the Spanish armada
In Charles Howard's English fleet
The Queen paid nothing for their service
The sailors hungry with nothing to eat
How could a Queen be so ungrateful
They saved her country they saved her throne
Her sailors so brave and so faithful
Of her penny pinching they were shown
