Fly high the Jolly Roger that black standard stained with red

We'll plunder down the Spanish main to earn our daily bread

Don't lose your nerve, you keep your spine 'neath our tattered sail

And if you talk you walk the plank 'cause dead men tell no tales

Welcome to the crew, me boy, you can stow your gear below

Just do your job, keep to the code, we'll tell you where to go

Shut your gob, stand your ground and a full share you will earn

If you wag your tongue then with our swords we'll split you stem to stern

Fly high the Jolly Roger that black standard stained with red

We'll plunder down the Spanish main to earn our daily bread

Don't lose your nerve, you keep your spine 'neath our tattered sail

And if you talk you taste our steel 'cause dead men tell no tales

We avoid the Royal Navy, it's fat merchant ships we hunt

And we don't take no prisoners, it's their blood and gold we want

Just ignore their pleas, ignore their screams when those lubbers start to beg

And a marlin spike will crack their skull like a stinking, rotten egg

Fly high the Jolly Roger that black standard stained with red

We'll plunder down the Spanish main to earn our daily bread

Don't lose your nerve, you keep your spine 'neath our tattered sail

And if you talk you'll be keelhauled 'cause dead men tell no tales

You can fear the hangman's noose, me boy, you can fear the King and Crown

Fear not the sea, those born to hang will never ever drown

This is now our fate, me lads, on death door we must knock

When we get caught we'll swing and rot from Execution Dock

Fly high the Jolly Roger that black standard stained with red

We'll plunder down the Spanish main to earn our daily bread

Don't lose your nerve, you keep your spine 'neath our tattered sail

And if you talk we'll stretch your neck

If you talk, you'll be marooned

If you talk you'll hang in irons

'Cause dead men tell no

Dead men tell no

Dead men tell no

Dead men tell no tales
