HOIST THE COLOURS

The King and his men
stole the Queen from her bed
and bound her in her bones
the seas be ours and by the powers
where we will we’ll roam

(Refrein)
Yo ho, all together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die

Now some have died
and some are alive
and others sail on sea
with the keys to the cage
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler’s Green

Refrein

The bell has been raised
from its water grave
Hear it’s sepulchral tone?
A call to all
pay heed the squall
and turn yourself toward home

Refrein

The King and his men
stole the Queen from her bed
and bound her in her bones
The seas be ours and by the powers
Where we will we’ll roam
