Tempest - Captain Morgan lyrics

Lend an ear, come listen to me Of my life, the song of the sea I came from Wales, a soldier I was sworn Discharged from the army, a pirate was born I fought on sea, I fought on dry land With 40 ships at my command My fleet was painted with blackest-ship black sails My men made hell, with sword in hand Chorus: I'm Captain Morgan, the pirate The greatest buccaneer Captain Morgan, the pirate I had no fear The sound of a sword, as it slices the air The sea wind tosses my jet black hair We drank and we swore in the gull's grey light Laughter and rum in the chill of the night Oh! Terror strikes deep in the heart of the foes A human life ain't worth a casket of j**els The booty was slim in that city of gold And I lost many of my men brave and bold Chorus The muskets were fired, the cannonballs roared The Spaniards were captured, by pirates at war I swept the Caribbean like a bloody hurricane But I stood trial, and they put me in chains (Put me in chains!) As governor of Jamaica, I went against my own I hanged my men, and their skulls and crossbones The bottle became my last company I never again heard the song of the sea Chorus
