Captain Morgan Lyrics - Prime Cuts - Tempest

Lend an ear, come listen to me 

Of my life, the song of the sea 

I came from Wales, a soldier I was sworn 

Discharged from the army, a pirate was born 

I fought on sea, I fought on dry land 

With 40 ships at my command 

My fleet was painted with blackest-ship black sails 

My men made hell, with sword in hand 

Chorus: 

I'm Captain Morgan, the pirate 

The greatest buccaneer 

Captain Morgan, the pirate 

I had no fear 

The sound of a sword, as it slices the air 

The sea wind tosses my jet black hair 

We drank and we swore in the gull's grey light 

Laughter and rum in the chill of the night 

Oh! 

Terror strikes deep in the heart of the foes 

A human life ain't worth a casket of jewels 

The booty was slim in that city of gold 

And I lost many of my men brave and bold 

Chorus 

The muskets were fired, the cannonballs roared 

The Spaniards were captured, by pirates at war 

I swept the Caribbean like a bloody hurricane 

But I stood trial, and they put me in chains 

(Put me in chains!) 

As governor of Jamaica, I went against my own 

I hanged my men, and their skulls and crossbones 

The bottle became my last company 

I never again heard the song of the sea 

Chorus
