Now we are ready to sail for the horn
Weigh hey, roll and go!
Our boots and our clothes
Boys, are all in the pawn
To be rollicking Randy Dandy-Oh!
Heave a pawl, o heave away
Weigh hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board
And the cable's all stored
To be rollicking Randy Dandy-Oh!
Soon we'll be warping
Her out through the locks
Weigh hey, roll and go!
Where the pretty young girls
All come Down in their frocks
To be rollicking Randy Dandy-Oh!
Heave a pawl, o heave away!
Weigh hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board
And the cable's all stored
To be rollicking Randy Dandy-Oh!
Come breast the bars,
Bullies, heave her away
Weigh hey, roll and go!
Soon we'll be rolling her
Down through the Bay
To be rollicking Randy Dandy-Oh!
Heave a pawl, o heave away!
Weigh hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board
And the cable's all stored
To be rollicking Randy Dandy-Oh!
We're outward bound for Vallipo Bay,
Get crackin', me lads, it's a hell of a way!
To be rollicking Randy Dandy-Oh!
Heave a pawl, o heave away!
Weigh hey, roll and go!
The anchor's on board
And the cable's all stored
To be rollicking Randy Dandy-Oh!

All For Me Grog
03:08

And it's all for me grog
Me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin
On the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander
Where are me boots
Me noggin, noggin boots?
They're all gone for beer and tobacco
For the heels they are worn out
And the toes are kicked about
And the soles are looking
For better weather
And it's all for me grog,
Me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin
On the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander
Where is me shirt
Me noggin, noggin shirt?
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the sleeves they are worn out
And the tail is turn about
And the collar‘s lookin' out
For better weather
And it's all for me grog,
me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin
On the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander
I'm sick in the head
And I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore
With me plunder
Well I spent all me dough
On the lassies don't you know,
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander.
And it's all for me grog,
Me jolly, jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin
On the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the restless ocean
I must wander

Kind friends and companions
Come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices
In chorus with mine
Come lift up your voices
All grief to refrain
For we may or might never
All meet here again
Here's a health to the company
And one to my lass
Let's drink and be merry
All out of one glass
Let's drink and be merry
All grief to refrain
For we may or might never
All meet here again
Here's a health to the wee lass
That I love so well
For style and for beauty
There's none can excel
There's a smile on her countenance
As she sits upon my knee
There is no man in this wide world
As Happy as me
Here's a health to the company
And one to my lass
Let's drink and be merry
All out of one glass
Let's drink and be merry
All grief to refrain
For we may or might never
All meet here again
Our ship lies at anchor
She is ready to dock
I wish her safe landing
Without any shock
And if ever I should meet you
By land or by sea
I will always remember
Your kindness to me
Here's a health to the company
And one to my lass
All out of one glass
Let's drink and be merry,
All grief to refrain
For we may or might never
All meet here again

Leave Her Johnny
02:39
|
|||
|
I thought I heard the Old Man say
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Tomorrow you will get your pay
And it's time for us to leave her
Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
She shipped it green and none went by
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long
And the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
I hate to sail on this rotten tub
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
No grog allowed and rotten grub
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long
And the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
We swear by rote for want of more
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
But now we're through
So we'll go on shore
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long
And the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long
And the winds Don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her

Rolling Down To Old Maui
03:57
|
|||
|
It's a damn tough life
Full of toil and strife
We whaler-men undergo
And we don't give a damn
When the gale is done
How hard the Winds did blow
For we're homeward bound
From the Arctic ground
With a good ship, taut and free
And we won't give a damn
When we drink our rum
With the girls Of old Maui
With the girls Of old Maui
Once more we sail
With the northerly gale
Through the ice and wind and rain
Them coconut fronds, them tropical lands
We soon shall see again
Six hellish months we've passed away
On the cold Kamchatka sea
But now we're bound from the Arctic ground
Rolling down to old Maui
Rolling down to old Maui, me boys
Rolling down to old Maui
We're homeward bound
From the Arctic ground
Rolling down to old Maui
Once more we sail with the northerly gale
Towards our island home
Our mainmast sprung, our whaling done
And we ain't got far to roam
Our stu'n's'l booms is carried away
What care we for that sound?
A living gale is after us, thank God
We're homeward bound!
Rolling down to old Maui, me boys
Rolling down to old Maui
We're homeward bound
From the Arctic ground
Rolling down to old Maui
How soft the breeze through the island trees
Now the ice is far astern
Them native maids, them tropical glades
Is awaiting our return
Even now their big brown eyes
Look outhoping some fine day to see
Our baggy sails, running 'fore the gales rolling Down to old Maui.
Rolling down to old Maui, me boys
Rolling down to old Maui
We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground
Rolling down to old Maui
We're homeward bound from the Arctic ground
Rolling down to old Maui

The thought goes to the Spanish gold
It makes a man so brash and bold
The sea is quiet we are waiting for Another prey to hunt again
Skull and bones
The armed hand of the delvil’s son
In the blue sea
Raise the flag
The jolly roger up to the sky
The time is right
Skull and bones on the horizon
It’s black like pitch and black like death
No escape surrender or fight
And fear is the feeling
That rages in their eyes
Oh Oh we are the black flag
Oh Oh the curse to the end
Oh Oh we are the black flag
Oh Oh a tale that you can tell
Skull and bones on the horizon
It’s black like pitch and black like death
No escape surrender or fight
And fear is the feeling
That rages in their eyes
Oh Oh we are the black flag
Oh Oh the curse to the end
Oh Oh we are the black flag
Oh Oh a tale that you can tell
Oh Oh we are the black flag
Oh Oh the curse to the end
Oh Oh we are the black flag
Oh Oh a tale that you can tell

Oh Santy Anno gained the day
Away Santy Anno
Oh Santy Anno gained the day
All on the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
All on the plains of Mexico
Them yaller skin girls I do adore
Away Santy Anno
With their shinin' eyes
And their cold black hair
All on the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
All on the plains of Mexico
When I was a little lad
And so my mother told me
Way, haul away
We'll haul away, Joe
That if I did not kiss the gals
Me lips would all grow moldy
Way, haul away
we'll haul away, Joe
Way, haul away
The good ship is a-bolding
Way, haul away
we'll haul away, Joe
Way, haul away
The sheet is now unfold-ing
Way, haul away
we'll haul away, Joe!
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
There were two lofty ships
From old England came
Blow high, blow low and so sail we
One was the Prince of Luther
And the other Prince of Wales
Cruisin' down the coast of High Barbary
Look ahead, look-astern
Look the weather in the lee!
Blow high! Blow low! And so sailed we
I see a wreck to windward
And a lofty ship to lee!
A-sailing down along
The coast of High Barbary
Oh, are you a pirate or a man o' war? cried we
Blow high! Blow low! And so sailed we
Oh no! I'm not a pirate
But a man-o-war, cried he
A-sailing down along
The coast of High Barbary
In Amsterdam there lived a maid
Mark well what I do say!
In Amsterdam there lived a maid
And she was mistress of her trade
I'll go no more a-roving
With you fair maid!
A roving, a roving
Since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving
With you fair maid!
I asked this maid to take a walk
Mark well what I do say!
I asked this maid out for a walk
That we might have some private talk
I'll go no more a roving
With you fair maid
A roving, a roving
Since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a roving
With you fair maid!

Treasure Island
05:09
|

|
Mr. Bones is fighting Black Dog
He wants to split him to the chine
Blind Pew the bringer of the spot
Horse-hooves trampling his spine
We have the map to start our trip
The 'Squire' has the ship and the sailors
Long John is the man with the grip
No one knows he will raid us
The yell of the slain
The waves on the rocks
Captain Flint's raising hell
He's calling my name
To drive me insane
But I'll never return to
Treasure Island
Where the brave fell
A one-legged devil
From the pit of hell
A greedy demon on his treasury
Cursed the island, oh, eternally
Long John is spreading his law
Hatching a death bringing plot
I show up in a council of war
What I heard in the barrel from this toad
The yell of the slain
The waves on the rocks
Captain Flint's raising hell
He's calling my name
To drive me insane
But I'll never return to
Treasure Island
Where the brave fell
A one-legged devil
From the pit of hell
A greedy demon on his treasury
Cursed the island, oh, eternally
When we put back to the sea
Silver's chains are doubly tight
Long John and his counterfeit key
Sidle away into the night
The yell of the slain
The waves on the rocks
Captain Flint's raising hell
He's calling my name
To drive me insane
But I'll never return to
Treasure Island
Where the brave fell
A one-legged devil
From the pit of hell
A greedy demon on his treasury
Cursed the island, oh, eternally
Treasure Island
Where the brave fell
A one-legged devil
From the pit of hell
A greedy demon on his treasury
Cursed the island, oh, eternally

Long John Silver
07:02
|

|
A man walks into a inn
Out the dead of the night
Threatens the entirety
Of the island of Nassau
He proceeds to remove
A man’s head with a metal shoe
Without fear and without second thoughts
They use to call him Long John
And say that he's seven foot tall
He doesn't need any king
No land can holds him
No land, no man, no king, no one
Long John Silver
Every pirate will follow you
Long John Silver the brave
On the Walrus the hall of fame
Long John Silver fearless
He will kill with only one leg
Long John Silver remains
The quartermaster who leads the game
He was tall and strong
Cunning and smiling
A reference figure for the crew
And also for captain Flint
Taking the pardon rolls
He sends a signal to all the people
Who have betrayed the pirate cause
In that night
They use to call him Long John
And say that he's seven foot tall
He doesn't need any king
No land can holds him
No land, no man, no king, no one
Long John Silver
Every pirate will follow you
Long John Silver the brave
On the Walrus hall of fame
Long John Silver fearless
He will kill with only one leg
Long John Silver remains
The quartermaster who leads the game
They use to call him Long John
And say that he's seven foot tall
He doesn't need any king
No land can holds him
No land, no man, no king, no one
Long John Silver
Every pirate will follow you
Long John Silver the brave
On the Walrus the hall of fame
Long John Silver fearless
He will kill with only one leg
Long John Silver remains
The quartermaster who leads the game
