The Tiger Lillies - Pressganged lyrics

And so you sailed the sea when you were twenty three Press ganged one night how you did fight into the navy Press ganged to mutiny Your fate gets worse you see And so welcome your new career A pirate on the sea Your captain he was cruel nine tails and foulest gruel Then you are caught convicted of the crime of piracy Your last words you do say a victim dies today So now you croak upon a rope tied to a hanging tree
