John Nutt
John Nutt was a pirate who lived in Torbay
His crews would respect him for their regular good pay
He had an illegal business all along the coast
Of immunity from capture he could surely boast
The Lord Mayor of Dartmouth sent off an urgent plea
To the Lord Admiral of London of the danger of piracy
From John Nutt the brigand who sailed from Torbay
With sailors from the Royal Navy that he lured away
He was captured by John Eliot in sixteen twenty three
But from the secretary of state he gained his freedom successfully
This caused a scandal because the pirate was set free
And poor John Eliot was sent to prison in Marshalsea
His crews would respect him for their regular good pay
He had an illegal business all along the coast
Of immunity from capture he could surely boast
The Lord Mayor of Dartmouth sent off an urgent plea
To the Lord Admiral of London of the danger of piracy
From John Nutt the brigand who sailed from Torbay
With sailors from the Royal Navy that he lured away
He was captured by John Eliot in sixteen twenty three
But from the secretary of state he gained his freedom successfully
This caused a scandal because the pirate was set free
And poor John Eliot was sent to prison in Marshalsea
