These old rusty sails Still guide my way Open waters To the edge of a quiet bay When my ship rolls in On a gentle wave I see clouds of powder From shots that were aimed at me Oh no, cannonball Won't take us down, won't break these walls Or sink, sink my sturdy ship down Don't you think, think you could ever make me drown And it's oh, oh cannonball Oh, oh my cannonball Oh, oh cannonball Gonna take us in, take us in, take us in, take us in I'm no pirate, babe And I don't act that way Float my boat On a quarter note, sea sway There's no need for this All this hostile fire But rest assured, when waters are stirred We all ride the tide and nothing is yours Oh no, cannonball Won't take us down, won't break these walls Or sink, sink my sturdy ship down Don't you think, think you could ever make me drown And it's oh, oh cannonball Oh, oh my cannonball Oh, oh cannonball Gonna take us in, take us in, take us in, take us in
