lyrics

Seven Seas / Rattlin’ Bog

We sailed around the seven seas as free as free as could be
Then we caught a wayward breeze upon the open sea
Up with the riggin sailed Cape Horn
Hoisted the mainsail and surfed that storm
We pulled into a happy cove on a summer’s morn
Spent months at sea rather forlorn
Up to the pub with a rant and a cheer
A bunch of lovely lassies brought us whiskey and beer

We drank and drank and drank and drank to set our troubles free
Spent many a day singin’ songs of the sea
Spent many a night in the bosom of the free
Then danced around the town a hearty as could be
We’re raggle taggle gypsies tramps and thieves
The scum of the earth they’d have you believe
Never robbed a poor man, treat our women well
If you plunder for the king we’ll chase you to hell

Never turned a freeman into a slave
Never sent a young man to an early grave
We sail the seas and take your land
If you choose to face us it’ll be your last stand
Did what we did be it right or wrong, still remain, but we’re long gone
The fight for freedom will always go on
And we sail around the seven seas in story and in song
