Hoist The Colours Lyrics

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, all hands
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!

Yo, ho, haul together
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho thieves, and beggers
never shall we die!

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.
