[Verse 1] There's a man they call Bowes, a captain so bold, With a thirst for the sea and a heart made of gold, From the decks of his ship, with a mug in his hand, He leads his fine crew in a pirate metal band! [Chorus] Raise up your tankards and give him a cheer! Captain Bowes, the scourge of the year! With rum in his belly and steel in his soul, We'll follow his lead to the ends of the world! [Verse 2] Through thunder and storm, he sails without fear, With his motley of pirates, and oceans of beer, The Kraken may lurk in the depths down below, But he’ll chase it away with one mighty bellow! [Chorus] Raise up your tankards and give him a cheer! Captain Bowes, the scourge of the year! With rum in his belly and steel in his soul, We’ll follow his lead to the ends of the world! [Bridge] When the cannons do roar and the black flags rise, He laughs in the face of the stormiest skies, A renegade captain, both cunning and sly, With Alestorm behind him, they sail till they die! [Verse 3] So here’s to the captain who conquers the sea, With his pirates of metal and fearless decree, We’ll sing to his legend, and drink till we’re blind, For Captain Bowes, the terror of brine! [Chorus] Raise up your tankards and give him a cheer! Captain Bowes, the scourge of the year! With rum in his belly and steel in his soul, We’ll follow his lead to the ends of the world! [Outro] Aye, Captain Bowes, we sail by your side, Through oceans uncharted, on waves wild and wide, With Alestorm forever, we conquer the tide, For Captain Bowes and his pirate pride! Yarrrrrrrrr!
