Текст пісні Captain Morgan - Tempest

Captain Morgan

Lend an ear, come listen to me
Of my life, the song of the sea
I came from Wales, a soldier I was sworn
Discharged from the army, a pirate was born
I fought on sea, I fought on dry land
With 40 ships at my command
My fleet was painted with blackest-ship black sails
My men made hell, with sword in hand
I’m Captain Morgan, the pirate
The greatest buccaneer
Captain Morgan, the pirate
I had no fear
The sound of a sword, as it slices the air
The sea wind tosses my jet black hair
We drank and we swore in the gull’s grey light
Laughter and rum in the chill of the night
Oh!
Terror strikes deep in the heart of the foes
A human life ain’t worth a casket of jewels
The booty was slim in that city of gold
And I lost many of my men brave and bold
The muskets were fired, the cannonballs roared
The Spaniards were captured, by pirates at war
I swept the Caribbean like a bloody hurricane
But I stood trial, and they put me in chains
(Put me in chains!)
As governor of Jamaica, I went against my own
I hanged my men, and their skulls and crossbones
The bottle became my last company
I never again heard the song of the sea
