Karliene - Stealing The William lyrics
[Karliene - Stealing The William lyrics]
Jack had spied a prize jack had spied a ship
A twelve-ton mighty sloop
The William was the pinch
We slipped with muffled oars
Under the guise of night
And when we came aboard
'Twas not a soul in sight
The fools were down there drinkin'
Down in the ragged tavern
So we took from underneath 'em
Stole off with The William
Oh, what an easy prize oh, what an easy win
Oh, what a merry high
When we stole The William
We didn’t foresee the threat
For such an easy win how we’d come to regret
Stealing The William
A shadow, a shadow was looming
A ship, a ship was gaining
And all the men, and all the men
Were drinking a Man-o War, a Man-o War
Was gaining
A twelve-ton mighty sloop
The William was the pinch
We slipped with muffled oars
Under the guise of night
And when we came aboard
'Twas not a soul in sight
The fools were down there drinkin'
Down in the ragged tavern
So we took from underneath 'em
Stole off with The William
Oh, what an easy prize oh, what an easy win
Oh, what a merry high
When we stole The William
We didn’t foresee the threat
For such an easy win how we’d come to regret
Stealing The William
A shadow, a shadow was looming
A ship, a ship was gaining
And all the men, and all the men
Were drinking a Man-o War, a Man-o War
Was gaining
