Captain Morgan’s Golden Juice

V5.5

[Intro] The wind is blowing soft and sweet The salty sails begin to creak A young Welsh lad steps on the deck And never, ever, will look back! [Verse 1] The year was sixteen-fifty-four Young Henry left the British shore He didn't care for cannon fire The stormy seas just raised him higher Soon men would whisper in the dark: "Watch out, it's Captain Morgan's bark!" [Pre-Chorus] The Spanish ships went up in flames The ocean memorized his name He wasn't just a thief at sea He robbed for Crown and Country! [Chorus] Hey! Raise a glass to Morgan now The captain with the legal brow! The rum will flow, the stories stay The sails are singing in the bay! Hey! To the king of modern memes The master of the stormy themes The legend rose from ocean foam His name's in every pub back home! [Verse 2] Through raids and battles, blood and smoke The British King said: "Listen, mate, Your sword skills are exceptionally great!" So Henry got a royal knee-slap Sir Henry Morgan, knighted grand To rule the sugarcane-filled land! [Chorus] Hey! Raise a glass to Morgan now The captain with the legal brow! The rum will flow, the stories stay The sails are singing in the bay! [Bridge] The sweet molasses turns to fire And Captain shouts his main desire: (Spoken with a pirate accent:) "More rum in my glass, you scurvy dogs!" A drink so dark, a drink so strong And thus the liquid legend grew To pickle me, and pickle you! [Final Chorus] Hey! Raise a glass to Morgan’s ghost The pirate that we love the most! Hey! The stories never truly die They're kept alive by you and I Old Captain Morgan sails along Inside a glass, inside this song! [Outro] The wind still blows the island breeze Old sea shanties cross the seas And Captain Morgan’s shadow stays... Staring at you from the liquor trays! Ahoy!
