Hoist the Colours

The king and his men

Stole the queen from her bed

And bound her in her bones

The seas be ours and by the powers

Where we will, we'll roam

Yo-ho, all hands

Hoist the colors high

Heave-ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

Now some have died and some are alive

And others sail on the sea

With the keys to the cage and the Devil to pay

We lay to Fiddler's Green

Yo-ho, all hands

Hoist the colors high

Heave-ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

Yo-ho, all together

Hoist the colors high

Heave-ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

The bell has been raised from its watery grave

Do you hear its sepulchral tone?

We call to all, pay heed the squall

And turn your sails toward home

Yo-ho, all hands

Hoist the colors high

Heave-ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

Yo-ho, all together

Hoist the colors high

Heave-ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall (never shall) we die
