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 colours high

heave ho
theives and beggers
never shall we die


some men have died
and some are alive

and others sail on the sea
with keys to the cage
and the devil to pray

we lay to Fiddler's green

the bell has been raised

from its watery grave
do you hear it sepulchral tone
a call for all

pay heed the squall
and turn your sail twards home


yo ho
all haul together
hoist the colour high

heave ho
theives and beggers
never shall we die
