Salty Dog Lyrics - Swagger - Flogging Molly

I'll wait for you 'till I turn blue 

There's nothin' more a man can do 

Don't get your bollocks in a twist 

Settle down, don't take a fit 

You drank with demons straight form hell 

They almost nearly won as well 

You wiped the floor with victory 

Then puked until you fell asleep 

Blackened was the banshee's wail 

These boot will never fill her jail 

So you crawled into an empty boat 

For the Gulf of Mexico 

'Till Cortez came an' when so did you 

From the ashes charred and blue 

Smellin' like a salty dog 

Back from hell where you belong 

Anarchy, the scourge of every sea 

The Antichrist aboard a rig 

With us your cutthroat thieves 

The ship went down we all near drowned 

You stood there on the deck 

'Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse 

And dragged you from the wreck 

They threw a rope around yer neck 

To watch you dance the jig of death 

Then left you for the starvin' crows 

Hoverin' like hungry whores 

One flew down plucked out yer eye 

The other he had in his sights 

You snarled at him, said leave me be 

I need the bugger so I can see
