Bastards of the Seven Seas

(Intro)

Listen lads to the story I share,

Of a maiden so fine, a maiden so fare,

I loved that lass and her golden hair,

But I shot her dead and robbed her bare.

Chorus

We’re bastards of the seven seas,

We rob, we plunder, we take what we please,

We don’t fight fair and we don’t ask twice

So don’t cross a bastard or you’ll lose your life!

Verse 2

Old Barnaby had a silver tooth,

And a hatred for the gospel’s truth.

He trapped a priest in the powder room,

And sealed that door like a stone-cold tomb.

He watched the ship burn down to the rail,

Just to see if a holy man could sail!

Chorus

We’re bastards of the seven seas,

We rob, we plunder, we take what we please,

We don’t fight fair and we don’t ask twice

So don’t cross a bastard or you’ll lose your life!

Verse 3

Big Silas stood seven cubits tall,

With a jagged scar from a tavern brawl.

He sold his brother to a Spanish chain,

For a heavy purse and a sack of grain.

He laughs when the whip-crack hits the air,

With a heart as black as his greasy hair!

Chorus

We’re bastards of the seven seas,

We rob, we plunder, we take what we please,

We don’t fight fair and we don’t ask twice

So don’t cross a bastard or you’ll lose your life!

Verse 4

The blind man steers by the scent of fear,

With a rusted hook and a missing ear.

He lured a merchant to the jagged reef,

Then cut his throat to bring him relief.

He doesn’t need stars to find his way,

When the blood of the innocent lights the bay!

Chorus

We’re bastards of the seven seas,

We rob, we plunder, we take what we please,

We don’t fight fair and we don’t ask twice

So don’t cross a bastard or you’ll lose your life!

Outro

No mercy given...

No mercy found.

Just six feet in the solid ground
