Long John Silver Lyrics - Still - Richard Thompson

Long John Silver, he was on me like a rash 

Gave him my trust, gave him my cash 

Should have seen through him, should have seen from the start 

There's nothing but black in pirate's heart 

Long John Silver, Long John Silver 

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver 

Long John Silver, Long John Silver 

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver 

Long John Silver, he's good with numbers 

He makes hay while other folks slumber 

Gives me the brass, and he keeps all the best 

The better to feather his pretty little nest 

Long John Silver, Long John Silver, 

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver 

Long John Silver, Long John Silver 

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver 

Took all my money, my watch and chain 

Crack his head if I see him again 

Kind friends, warning take by me 

Not every pirate's sailing the sea 

Long John Silver, Long John Silver 

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver 

Long John Silver, Long John Silver 

Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver
