The Jolly Rogers

The Jolly Rogers - Up Boys Up lyrics

Your rating:

There were thirty pirate ships a-sailing on that sea

Bloodthirsty cruel and heartless all in good company.

We were on the point just scouting out the path

Looking for fresh victims, escape the Navy's wrath



The ship's name was Redemption, the captain Marcus 

Flynn

We were the finest cabin boys that there had ever been.

The ship was at the ready, the mast was strong and tall

With Flynn's eye on the horizon we waited for the call



Chorus:

Up boys up boys go on up aloft

Climb boys climb boys climb the riggin' high.

Up boys up boys go on up aloft

Tell me boys tell me boys tell me what you spy



With our pirate armada we rolled down the Spanish Main

The crews all got their riches and the captain got his 

fame

None could stand against us at least not very long

Flynn called us his secret weapon and he was never 

wrong



We would sail along just waiting for a target to be 

found

Ready to spring to action the moment we heard the sound

One would watch the target while the other flagged the 

rest

And no other sound brought more of a swell to our 

chests



Chorus



We ate at the captain's table and drank the captain's 

wine

He'd ask how he was doing and we would say just fine.

We were all just cabin boys still finding our way 

'round

But Flynn he put his trust in us and we never let him 

down



While the rest were working on what needed to be done

There were always at least two of us just waiting for 

our run

We'd all watch the Captain for his customary grin

And we'd be at the ready when those orders came from 

Flynn.



Chorus



When they tell the stories of this infamous trip

They all hail the captain for his prowess with the ship

And we were all just cabin boys nothing much to boast

But Flynn he gave us credit with each and every toast.



Now I am the captain a ship of my very own

I remember my old Captain and the kindness I was shown

Late at night when all is still except a haunting wind

My heart will race as I can hear Flynn's orders once 

again



Chorus
