Lift him up and carry him along
Fire Maringo, fire him away
Put him down where he belongs

Fire Maringo, fire him away!

The deck is awash with blood so red

Pooled up all around the dead

The enemy's ship is alive with fire

There's no plunder in that funeral pyre
Those navy dogs they had no fear
That King's Man O' War, she cost us dear


The captain lays wrapped in his shroud
With ten men killed, he did us proud


Send him overboard and let him lay
Wrapped up in chains so there he'll stay


The ocean floor is filled with bones
Pirates who never will see home


Let's fill her sails and make her go
There's more ships afloat for us to lay low
