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
