Dead Men Tell No Tales
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
John was a merchant on the Warf and had been his whole life
Sold fine goods and pottery, took the money home to his wife
Oh, that was nice of him
Sounds like he was booty whipped to me
Wrong place at the wrong time, witnessed the murder of Ray McClask
Ray McClask, who's that?
Some guy I owed money to
Who don't you owe money to?
And now he'll be talking to no one lads, for he sleeps with a knife in his back
Way Oh Well, Dead Men Tell No Tales (x4)
In the pub one evening I sat content and happily
Woman at me side kissing me neck, my hand upon her knee
Oh, frisky
When in walked a man who knew me, and walked right up to see
"Hey Patch" he said with a sarcastic grin
How's the wife and kids mate
And he never again was seen
Way Oh Well, Dead Men Tell No Tales (x4)
I once lay with the kings daughter
You're lying
What king?
Isn't she married?
She was well built and twenty-three
he he he, canons
canons?
Yea, you know, dairy canons
I left her with a present
Oh, that was nice of you. What'd you leave her, flowers? Chocolates?
He he, Candy
Well you've seen her son haven't you?
Yea, he's a cute little two year old and…
Yea, he's so… No…. you didn't
The boy looks just like me
You really think he's cute?
What if her husband finds out
He'll grind your bones mate
Oh I assure you he already knows
He does?
Yea, and he don't want me coming back leaking word that his son has the blood of a pirate
I can imagine, pirates is scary
You're a pirate idiot
Oh yea
He wants me head on a skewer, and to send me straight to hell
Well that's not very nice
Yea, what's he want to do that for?
I already told you
Dead men tell no tales
Way Oh Well, Dead Men Tell No Tales (x4)
Alright so what are we going to do with this body
Ah, just leave it here
Leave it here, what if someone says something
Who's going to say something, him
He can't talk, he's dead dead
Exactly and dead men tell no tales
Way Oh Well….
Stop it
Sorry
