The Jolly Rogers - Captain Morgan lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - Captain Morgan lyrics]
Eight months out, nothing to show
The crew's morale at an all time low
When we pulled in to Port Royal for repairs
The Captain went ashore for news
While we mended sails with the other crews
And talked about our sad state of affairs
The captain, he came bounding back
Said "Boys, there's no time to unpack
'cause we're about to join our pirate fleet"
This news should have been met with cheers
But the crew was plagued with doubt and fears
So the captain said without missing a beat:
"Don't avoid it, don't fear it
Embrace your pirate spirit
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight"
"For adventure and glory
And an unforgettable story
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight!"
"For Maracaibo we'll set sail
And there is no way we can fail
We'll have us a Navy of our own"
Like Portobello long before
We will sneak ourselves ashore
And we'll be rich before we come back home"
This got some cheers but not a lot
They knew the Cartagena plot
And all the pirates there that met their end
"Yes" he says "there's risk involved
But every problem can be solved
And we'll end up with more
Cash than we can spend"
"Don't avoid it, don't fear it
Embrace your pirate spirit
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight"
"For adventure and glory
And an unforgettable story
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight!"
At last the crew they all agreed
As fear cannot win over greed
And we got our ship all ready and primed
We set the sails and sharpened swords
We pulled the anchor and wound the cords
There was no way that we would lose this time
With that the whole crew was met
Pledges made, and routes were set
Henry Morgan said "Let not a thing go wrong!"
And as the fleet was heading out
You could hear our whole crew shout
"Listen up ye scurvy dogs and sing along
"Don't avoid it, don't fear it
Embrace your pirate spirit
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight"
"For adventure and glory
And an unforgettable story
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight!"
The crew's morale at an all time low
When we pulled in to Port Royal for repairs
The Captain went ashore for news
While we mended sails with the other crews
And talked about our sad state of affairs
The captain, he came bounding back
Said "Boys, there's no time to unpack
'cause we're about to join our pirate fleet"
This news should have been met with cheers
But the crew was plagued with doubt and fears
So the captain said without missing a beat:
"Don't avoid it, don't fear it
Embrace your pirate spirit
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight"
"For adventure and glory
And an unforgettable story
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight!"
