We left one morning from Bristol

To the Indies we'd set sail

Captain Thompson worried

Of many a pirate and a gale

The crew said “Dear Captain don't worry ‘bout us now

For we have calm seas and dolphins at the bow.'



“Don't worry ‘bout us now, don't worry ‘bout us now,'

The crew said “Dear Captain don't worry ‘bout us now.'



Captain Thompson stood on the foredeck

Pressed his spyglass to his eye

Looking to the horizon

When a pirate ship he spied

Then he wheeled and shouted, “She's bearing on us fast,

Man your guns me lads this will surely be our last!'



“She's bearing on us fast, she's bearing on us fast,'

Then he wheeled and shouted, “She's bearing on us 

fast.' 



It was then she came upon us

Bringing Hell with her that day

Captain Thompson he lay bleeding

These words to us he did say

“God damn you, you bastards, don't let them take my 

ship,

For I feel the Devil's claw and my life about to slip.'



“Don't let them take my ship, don't let them take my 

ship,

God damn you, you bastards, don't let them take my 

ship.'



We fired a volley back at them

Our aim it did not stray

With that one hard volley

We'd surely won the day

We'd sent them down to Hell boys, down to Davey Jones

Down to the depths where the sharks will have their 

bones



Down to Davey Jones, down to Davey Jones,

We'd sent them down to Hell boys, down to Davey Jones.



The Captain lay on the foredeck

His arms tied to his sides

Off the starboard went his body

His soul lost in the tide

The crew said “Dear Captain, don't worry ‘bout us now

For we have calm seas and dolphins at the bow.'



“Don't worry ‘bout us now, don't worry ‘bout us now,'

The crew said “Dear Captain, don't worry ‘bout us now.'



“Don't worry ‘bout us now, don't worry ‘bout us now,'

The crew said “Dear Captain, don't worry ‘bout us now.'
