|
Who'll make his mark |
|
The captain cried |
|
To the devil drink a toast |
|
We'll glut the hold |
|
With cups of gold |
|
And we'll feed the sea with ghosts |
|
I see your hunger for a fortune |
|
Could be better |
|
Served beneath my flag |
|
If you've the stomach |
|
For a broadside |
|
Come aboard my pretty boys |
|
I will take you and make you |
|
Everything you've ever dreamed |
|
Make fast the guns tonight we sail |
|
When the high tide floods the bay |
|
Cut free the lines |
|
And square the yards |
|
Get the black flag stowed away |
|
The turk the arab and the spaniard |
|
Will soon have pennies on their eyes |
|
And any other laden fancy |
|
We will take her by surprise |
|
I will take you and make you |
|
Everything you've ever dreamed |
|
Six days off the cuban coast |
|
When a sail ahead they spied |
|
A galleon of the treasure fleet |
|
The mizzen lookout cried |
|
Closer to the wind my boys |
|
The mad eyed captain roared |
|
For every man that's alive tonight |
|
Will be hauling gold aboard |
|
Spare us the galleon begged |
|
But mercy's face had fled |
|
Blood ran from the screaming souls |
|
The cutlass harvested |
|
Driven to the quarter deck |
|
The last survivor fell |
|
She's ours my boys |
|
The captain grinned |
|
And no one left to tell |
|
The captain rose from a silk divan |
|
With a pistol in his fist |
|
And shot the lock from an iron box |
|
And a blood red ruby kissed |
|
I give you jewelry of turquoise |
|
A crucifix of solid gold |
|
One hundred thousand silver pieces |
|
It is just as |
|
I foretold |
|
You, you see there before you |
|
Everything you've ever dreamed |
|
Anchored in an indigo moonlit bay |
|
Gold eyed 'round fires |
|
The sea thieves lay |
|
Morning, white shells |
|
And a pipe of clay |
|
As the wind filled their footprints |
|
They were far, far away |
|
Our sails swell full |
|
As we brave all seas |
|
On a westward wind |
|
To live as we please |
|
With the wicked wild eyed woman |
|
Of portobello town |
|
Where we've been told |
|
That a purse of gold |
|
Buys any man a crown |
|
They will serve you and cloth you |
|
Exchange your rags |
|
For the velvet coats of kings |
|
Who'll drink a toast with me |
|
I give you liberty |
|
This town is ours - tonight |
|
Landlord wine |
|
And make it the finest |
|
Make it a cup for a sea dogs thirst |
|
Two long years of bones and beaches |
|
Fever and leaches did their worst |
|
So fill the night with paradise |
|
Bring me peach and peacock'till |
|
I burstBut first, |
|
I want a soft touch |
|
In the right place |
|
I want to feel like a king tonight |
|
Ten on the black |
|
To beat the frenchman |
|
Back you dogs |
|
Give them room to turn |
|
Now open wide sweet heavens gate |
|
Tonight were gonna |
|
See if heaven burns |
|
I want an angel on a gold chain |
|
And I'll ride her to the stars |
|
It's the last time |
|
For a long, long time |
|
Come the daybreak we embark |
|
On the flood of the morning tide |
|
Once more the ocean cried |
|
This company will return one day |
|
Though we feel your tears |
|
It's the price we pay |
|
For there's prizes to be taken |
|
And glory to be found |
|
Cut free the chains |
|
Make fast your souls |
|
We are eldorado bound |
|
I will take you |
|
For always, forever, together |
|
Until hell calls our names |
|
Who'll drink a toast with me |
|
To the devil and the deep blue sea |
|
Gold drives a man to dream |
