Testo The Lash - Patrick Clancy
Testo della canzone The Lash (Patrick Clancy), tratta dall'album Mutiny! (Original London Cast Recording)
The lash came whistling down
And struck his back and breath flew out
A crimson welt was drawn across
And blood began to spout
The bosun flexed his gleaming arm
And down it came again
A second welt criss-crossed the first
And shook the grating frame
The man sank down then braced himself
The bosun struck once more
A shout, a welt, a spout of red
And down came number four
And Mr. Bligh he bit his lip
As five and six were given
His high intentions hung in shreds
And down came number seven
His bold resolve spread-eagled hung
And eight came down and nine
The flesh was torn from neck to waist
O'er all the open spine
But Mr. Christian's eyes were bright
No rational thinker he
The passion in the lash was like
The passion in the sea
Then ten, eleven, lastly twelve
Interminable did seem
The man collapsed, all black his face
And black the Bounty's dream
