Testo We Are Ye Banished Privateers - Ye Banished Privateers

Testo della canzone We Are Ye Banished Privateers (Ye Banished Privateers), tratta dall'album First Night Back In Port

In a filthy old tavern in the port of Belfast

There sat a drunken laddie, he was tall as a scooner's mast

He said "My name is Charles and I am your king

An' my royal arse on your ship you shall bring!"

Well I said "You sure can swagger, but a king you are not"

And if I had that fucker here, I'd sure have him shot!

"But I need one more swabber, and we're leavin' tonight

And you'll find the pay is good, can you sail, can you fight."

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer

But Charlie was a weak one, a real worthless prick

He threw up all the time 'cause the salt made 'em sick

And when we were plundering a rich merchant ship

He ran into hiding, trembling his lip

But sea legs can grow on the weakest of lads

It turned out some talent in fencing I had

Once I grew fond of the pirate charade

I'd be the first to dive into the fray

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer

We roamed all over the seven seas

We plundered wherever there riches may be

From ye coast of Tortuga to ye shores of Cape Horn

We looted n' pillaged both poor and well born

For each passing year an' each bottle of rum

Had Charlie a more vicious pirate become

One with the laddies so fearful and great

He advanced to the rank of first mate

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer

But each thing so good, must come to an end

And Charlie a letter from England was sent

It turned that rascal was truly our king

He returned from his exile during the spring

I gave them my blessing to rove n' I said

"a yearly wager in gold you'll be paid

But back home to England you cannot return

For you are the scum of the Earth I have learned!"

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared

We are Ye Banished Privateers

We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer!
