Hoist The Colors!


Recommended Posts

I think someone posted them somewhere or gave a link... I tried looking for it (no, I don't look desperatedly hard for things).

Anyone know the correct lyrics for it?

~Lady B

:lol:

Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

"I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

The one, the only,... the infamous!

Found these online, but I don't have the link anymore ~

LOVED it from the minute I heard it.

Hoist the Colors

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.

Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the Colors high.

Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die.

Some men have died and some are alive and others sail on the sea –

with the keys to the cage...

and the Devil to pay

we lay to Fiddler's Green.

The bell has been raised

from it's watery grave...

Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?

We are a call to all,

pay head the squall

and turn your sail toward home.

Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the Colors high...

Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die

Thank ye, Mary.

Aye, I have the same lyrics. Thought there was more. But, guess not. :)

Coolies.. thank ye.

Aye... I sing it lots. :D Got m' nephew involved, he fancies singing it often, too.
