The Jolly Rogers - Dead Men Tell No Tales lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - Dead Men Tell No Tales lyrics]
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 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'll walk the plank
'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 walk the plank
'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's 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 be hanged in irons!
'Cause dead men tell no, dead men tell no
Dead men tell no dead men tell no tales!
