Catch fire too, jiss like tinder!
Bow! wow! wow! den de cannon ’gin t’ roar;
In Plattsburg, an’ all ’bout dat quarter—
Gubbenner Probose try he hand ’pun de shore.
While he boat take he luck ’pun de water,
But Massa Macdonough
Kick he boat in de head!
Break he heart, broke he shin, ’tove he calf in—
An’ Gin’ral M’Comb,
Start ole Probose home!
