Pirate Song - Alestorm[00:00:00]
Written by:Christopher Bowes[00:00:00]
Though you see me now the mere ghost of a man[00:00:24]
I once had the heart of a lion[00:00:26]
Commanding my ship between many a shore[00:00:29]
The ol' jolly roger a flyin'[00:00:31]
Mine was a name that put fear into men[00:00:34]
And regret into plenty o' lasses[00:00:37]
Lo how I wish I could take back those days[00:00:40]
As I stare at these empty beer glasses[00:00:42]
I think of the times past when I had it all[00:00:45]
I toyed with men's wives and their daughters[00:00:47]
And in my pursuit of this ill gotten wealth[00:00:50]
I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered[00:00:53]
And for what[00:00:55]
Hey[00:00:56]
The men that I've fought[00:00:57]
Are matched by the number of women I've bought[00:00:58]
And for what[00:01:01]
Hey[00:01:01]
I've killed and I've shot[00:01:02]
And reddened the cold tears of children with blood[00:01:03]
And if I could go back and make my amends[00:01:06]
I'd make all those mistakes again[00:01:09]
And kill every last one of those bastards my friend[00:01:11]
My ship was the last sight that many would see[00:01:35]
As we narrowed the gap with our quarry[00:01:38]
Sound of the cannons and splintering wood[00:01:41]
Did herald our pass into glory[00:01:43]
We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship[00:01:46]
Our hearts hadn't time for no wounded[00:01:49]
I took my share and the crew got the rest[00:01:52]
And on into port we did bound it[00:01:54]
Life has many pleasures and we had our fill[00:01:57]
Of food and of wenches and beer[00:02:00]
When we tired of the port or had drunken it dry[00:02:02]
The time to set sail had come near[00:02:05]
And for what hey[00:02:07]
We heed no law[00:02:09]
The other man suffers so we can have more[00:02:10]
And for what hey[00:02:13]
We lived every day[00:02:14]
The noose of the hangman a hairsbreadth away[00:02:15]
And if I could go back and make my amends[00:02:18]
I'd make all those mistakes again[00:02:21]
And kill every last one of those bastards my friend[00:02:23]
Oh I have seen wonders you never have dreamed[00:03:09]
And taken my fair share I must say[00:03:12]
Holds full of booty I happily seized[00:03:14]
From crews who would not see a new day[00:03:17]
Spanish gold came and went and gemstones were sold[00:03:19]
And I knew more lay on the horizon[00:03:22]
Yet the beer was too good and gals were too sweet[00:03:25]
And now in my old age it's gone[00:03:27]
These memories were bought with the lives of good men[00:03:30]
A price that I paid without scruple[00:03:33]
So many so suffered so I could get drunk[00:03:35]
And swagger from brothel to brothel[00:03:38]
Now for what hey[00:03:41]
It's been many years[00:03:42]
The screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears[00:03:43]
But for what hey[00:03:46]
I've blood on my hands[00:03:47]
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned[00:03:49]
And if I could go back and make my amends[00:03:52]
I'd make all those mistakes again[00:03:54]
I'd kill every last one of those bastards[00:03:57]
My friends[00:03:59]
