Jolly Roger - Roger McGuinn[00:00:01]

The sun came up on the Spanish sea[00:00:47]

Our homeland far behind us[00:00:51]

Being junted by the King's Navy[00:00:54]

It's sure he'd never find us[00:00:58]

Pull away me lads o' the Cardiff Rose[00:01:04]

And hoist the Jolly Roger[00:01:08]

We brought her into the looward wind[00:01:22]

And made for the Caribbean[00:01:26]

For thoughts of what it might have been[00:01:30]

Destroys a human bein'[00:01:34]

But thoughts about the Spaniards' gold[00:01:40]

And learnin' to desire it[00:01:44]

Can make a man so brash and bold[00:01:48]

He'll soon become a pirate[00:01:52]

Pull away me lads o' the Cardiff Rose[00:01:58]

And hoist the Jolly Roger[00:02:01]

Now a gleam came into the Captain's eyes[00:02:15]

As he spied an English clipper[00:02:19]

"She looks the perfect shape and size[00:02:23]

Let's all aboard and strip her"[00:02:27]

We fired a shot across her bow[00:02:33]

And eased ourselves beside her[00:02:37]

With our keels as close as she'd allow[00:02:40]

We swung from the deck to ride her[00:02:44]

Pull away me lads o' the Cardiff Rose[00:02:50]

And hoist the Jolly Roger[00:02:54]

Up she stumbles and starts to pitch[00:03:08]

And signals for assistance[00:03:11]

We tightened our hold another hitch[00:03:15]

And ended her resistance[00:03:19]

Now there's many a day on the Spanish sea[00:03:25]

I served aboard that raider[00:03:29]

But we never did nothing more beautifully[00:03:32]

Than the way that we belayed her[00:03:36]

Pull away me lads o' the Cardiff Rose[00:03:42]

And hoist the Jolly Roger[00:03:46]

Her hold was hot as St Elmo's fire[00:03:59]

Her chests were filled with treasure[00:04:03]

We took as much as we'd require[00:04:07]

Then took more for our pleasure[00:04:11]

Now there's many a day on the Spanish Main[00:04:17]

But none I hold so dear[00:04:20]

As the happy day I first became[00:04:24]

A scurvy buccaneer[00:04:28]

Pull away me lads o' the Cardiff Rose[00:04:30]

And hoist the Jolly Roger[00:04:37]
