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 together Hoist the colours high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die Yo, ho, haul together Hoist the colours high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die Some men 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! The bell has been raised From it's watery grave... Do you hear it's sepulchral tone? We are a call to all Pay heed the squall And turn your sail toward home! Yo, ho, all together Hoist the colours high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die!
