Salty Dog |
| I’ll wait for you till I turn blue |
| There’s nothin' more a man can do |
| Don’t get your bollocks in a twist |
| Settle down, don’t take a fit |
| Ya drank with demons straight form Hell |
| They almost nearly won as well |
| Ya wiped the floor with victory |
| Then puked until you fell asleep |
| Blackened was the banshee’s wail |
| These boots will never fill her jail |
| So you crawled into an empty boat |
| For the Gulf of Mexico |
| Till Cortez came an' when so did you |
| From the ashes charred and blue |
| Smellin' like a Salty Dog |
| Back from Hell where you belong |
| Anarchy, the scourge of every sea |
| The Antichrist aboard a rig |
| With us your cutthroat thieves |
| The ship went down we all near drowned |
| Ya stood there on the deck |
| Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse |
| And dragged you from the wreck |
| They threw a rope around yer neck |
| To watch you dance the jig of death |
| Then left ya for the starvin' crows |
| Hoverin' like hungry whores |
| One flew down plucked out yer eye |
| The other he had in his sights |
| Ya snarled at him, said leave me be |
| I need the bugger so I can see |
