Captain Morgan's Revenge

Countless years ago while lost in barren seas There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny We took up arms and slaid the officers of rank And with swords drawn ,made the captain walk the plank And as he fell down to the depths He swore a deadly curse "As sure as hell's my final fate You'll all soon die, or worse" Now as we stand before the gallows Waiting for the end I'll say these final words, my friend At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits We returned to port with sorrow in our chests An evil shadow followed us on every quest Never to feel joy again was our fate Only misery and death, fear and burning hate We broke the law, betrayed the code Now time is running out An unforgivable offense Of that there is no doubt Now as we stand before the gallows Waiting for the end I'll say these final words, my friend At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits Many years have passed now Yet the curse still lives on And now we rot in a black prison cell Waiting for our true calling in hell But for the lives we leave behind Don't shed a tear, don't cry The only way to break this curse Is for us all to die Now as we stand before the gallows Waiting for the end I'll say these final words, my friend At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits --- Captain Morgan's Revenge - Alestorm
