The rum runs low but the night runs long, Lanterns swing and the crew’s all strong, Boots keep pounding, tankards clash, Sea foam flies in a thunderous splash! Aye, the tide’s on fire, and the stars all spin, A reel for the fools and the storms within! Rolls on deck laughing, hearts gone wild, Wind in her hair and the sea beguiled, Raise that glass, let the cannons sing, We’re the curse and the crown and the storm we bring! Old Hannah’s got a grin like sin, Irish Gal’s drum calls the madness in, Hurdy-gurdy wails like a siren’s cry, Fiddles blaze and the gulls reply! Gold means nothing when the groove is loud, Dance, ye devils, make yer mothers proud! Rolls on deck laughing, hearts gone wild, Wind in her hair and the sea beguiled, Raise that glass, let the cannons sing, We’re the curse and the crown and the storm we bring! Yo-ho! The waves go high, Yo-ho! We’ll never die! Yo-ho! The ropes may tear, But we’ll dance till the devil’s there! Rolls on deck laughing, hearts gone wild, Salt in our blood and the sea beguiled! From dawn till doom, let the world all swing, We’re the curse and the crown and the storm we bring!
