Tales from Tortuga

[Verse] In the bay where the wind sweeps low The masts of ships in a wild row Pirate flags they wave and flow Tortuga's the place all sailors know [Verse 2] Rum and gold on every hand Fortunes buried in the sand Voices loud an' the tales so grand Every night a jester's band [Chorus] Oh come to Tortuga where the wild tides sway Dance with the devil till the break of day Drink the ale and hear the yarns they say In Tortuga we find our way [Verse 3] Cannon fire and the lantern's glow Mysteries only shadows show Old sea dogs who’ll never grow Trading secrets from docks below [Bridge] When the moon's high and the tides do clash Wicked laughter and a thunderous flash Be wary or your dreams they’ll smash Tortuga's not for the frail or brash [Chorus] Oh come to Tortuga where the wild tides sway Dance with the devil till the break of day Drink the ale and hear the yarns they say In Tortuga we find our way
