The Merry Wives Of Windsor - Sail On lyrics

My lover had left me to sail the seven seas And to his love would stay true. Alone I did conspire to dress in man's attire And to join with his pirate crew. Sail on me boys sail on For our Journey is long. Full well we know our fate, For the Bloody gallows wait, Sail on me boys sail on. One evening in a brawl I beat the crew men all. The quarter master felt my might. I showed my lover then I was the best of all his men And together we would rule the night! Sail on me boys sail on For our Journey is long. Full well we know our fate, For the Bloody gallows wait, Sail on me boys sail on. Hand in hand we rode the tide We pillaged far and wide A jolly roger feared by all. The captain and his wife we Led the pirate life ‘Till the Navy did pledge our fall. Sail on me boys sail on For our Journey is long. Full well we know our fate, For the Bloody gallows wait, Sail on me boys sail on. At dawn the cannons roared Our ships they did board Our swords drawn we fought without hope. And so the day was lost And our freedom was the cost ‘Til the hangman prepared the bloody rope. Sail on me boys sail on (sail on) For our Journey is long. Full well we know our fate, For the Bloody gallows wait, Sail on me boys sail on. My love met his doom But the child within my womb Forced the fools to spare my life, But those ba*tards I do warn Though my daughter is unborn She will avenge her family's strife. Sail on me boys sail on For our Journey is long. Full well we know our fate, For the Bloody gallows wait, Sail on me boys sail on. Sail on me boys sail on For our Journey is long. Full well we know our fate, For the Bloody gallows wait, Sail on me boys sail on. Sail on me boys sail on. Sail on me boys sail on.
