Testo The Pirate Song

Testo The Pirate Song

Something like bold scenery Painted with fine oils Cargo ships and pirate blades Bringing home (the) spoils drunking (*standing) tired and wide awake Dodging serpents tails Stand up, time to hoist the sails up Here come all the big ships Racing through the wind Hurry up, come back when the time?s right We'll be like the shark's bite Back to bite again again Heading north we saw the fields, Coastline tinted grey There she stood her dress pure white Her lantern lights were eight Soon my wounds were tended too And mom brought back today Stand up, time to hoist the sails up... Here come all the big ships Racing through the wind Hurry up, come back when the time?s right We'll be like the shark's bite Back to bite again agin Like the spirit winds have claimed Sails by just a thread They forgive a captain's ship And fill too full the jib Like a band of gentlemen With one less to forgive Stand up. time to hoist the sails up... Here come all the big ships Racing through the wind Hurry up, come back when the time?s right We'll be like the shark's bite Back to bite again back again Like a vintage Beaujolais empty lingering taste Longing for another sip Just to feel the chase On the rocks in Trinidad It was good to see your smiling face Stand up. time to hoist the sails up... Here come all the big ships Racing through the wind Hurry up, come back when the time?s right We'll be like the shark's bite Back to bite again Stand up. time to hoist the sails up... Here come all the big ships Racing through the wind Hurry up, come back when the time?s right We'll be like the shark's bite Back to bite again again.... *"standing" in original lyrics
