The watchman slipped too early in my cabin |
|
"Roust the crew; there's something up ahead." |
|
So I slipped into the misty morning |
|
"Bring your swords," I whispered to my men |
|
Hold your head up! Keep your head up! |
|
Hold your sword up! Fight! fight! fight! |
|
When you sleep, keep one eye open |
|
Know your friends but watch them tight! |
|
Through the mists I vaguely saw the ships |
|
A dozen strong; too strong to turn and fight |
|
I saw the coastline where she shouldn't be |
|
Some sailor changed our position in the night |
|
Hold your head up! Keep your head up! |
|
Hold your sword up! Fight! fight! fight! |
|
When you sleep, keep one eye open |
|
Know your friends but watch them tight! |
|
I hope I loaded my gun; I know I'm loaded with rum |
|
My fear is low but I ought to know that the world is full of scum |
|
I hope I loaded my gun; I know I'm loaded with rum |
|
My fear is low but I ought to know that the world is full of scum |
|
The pilot's gone, slipped silent from his post |
|
All that's left a note pinned to the wheel |
|
"Took the catboat; took some crew |
|
I took some gold; I'm sure that you can heal." |
|
Hold your head up! Keep your head up! |
|
Hold your sword up! Fight! fight! fight! |
|
When you sleep, keep one eye open |
|
Know your friends but watch them tight! |
|
Hold your head up! Keep your head up! |
|
Hold your sword up! Fight! fight! fight! |
|
When you sleep, keep one eye open |
|
Know your friends but watch them tight! |
|
I hope I loaded my gun; I know I'm loaded with rum |
|
My fear is low but I ought to know that the world is full of scum |
|
I hope I loaded my gun; I know I'm loaded with rum |
|
My fear is low but I ought to know that the world is full of scum |
