John Paul Jones
was born 7/6/1747 (d1792)
Hurrah for Captain John Paul Jones,
sing his praise in hero's tones.
He has done his business well,
his mighty acts no tongue can tell.
"Hurrah for John Paul Jones,"
(translated from the Dutch) Folkways Seaport 76
(If JPJ was a character of highly questionable repute, I don't see why
that should stop him from being an enduring American hero.)
