Lyrics
The Captain's Dead
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.
We're sailin' out in foggy, dewy weahter
Pillagin' the westcoasts
Singin' out the turalurao
But labouring on wicked, old sea
Was always making us row
Tired of the turalurao
Hunger and no capture
From plague we're no more raptured
You didn't really treat us well
So much different stories
But we came for gold and glories
Now we will send you back to hell
You traitors, the captain's dead, hail!
So long live me
Now i'm in charge so no wail! way-hey
We'll riding on thunder
The world's gonna humble
Under favour of the night we'll sail
The captain's dead
Abandoned families
Got only catching disease
Now we've got nothing left to lose
The soup is served with rat tag
No lumber for wooden leg
Fighting beside you it's no use
