The Spanish Are Coming
The Alarms were sounded
Church bells rang out
The Spanish are coming
Up went the shout
Greenery thrown onto signal fires
To create smoke as the warning arrives
Lord Howard's Fleet
Awaits the news
On all the ships
Are the anxious crews
In the mouth of the Tamar and Plymouth sound
The English ships are gathered around
Onshore many pray through the night
The sails of the armada seen in the morning light
Smoke and thunder
Of the cannons blast
As the English ships
Fight the Spaniards at last
From the coast they watch the battle unfold
Attacking the armada the English so bold
The Spanish are coming so they were told
Church bells rang out
The Spanish are coming
Up went the shout
Greenery thrown onto signal fires
To create smoke as the warning arrives
Lord Howard's Fleet
Awaits the news
On all the ships
Are the anxious crews
In the mouth of the Tamar and Plymouth sound
The English ships are gathered around
Onshore many pray through the night
The sails of the armada seen in the morning light
Smoke and thunder
Of the cannons blast
As the English ships
Fight the Spaniards at last
From the coast they watch the battle unfold
Attacking the armada the English so bold
The Spanish are coming so they were told
