Captain Coulston - Steeleye Span descargar videos gratis

From the 1971 album, Ten Man Mop, this is a fine blend of electric guitars and bass over the traditional lyric of piracy on the Atlantic Crossing.

Steeleye Span - Captain Coulston

come and join with captain coulston, that hero stout and bold

who fought his way all on the sea and never was controlled

for six long weeks in the summer gales we sailed upon the sea

all bound for new york city, that city fair to see.

the captain and his lady they came on deck each day

to help us with our merriment, going to amerikay

the merriment being over we're going to bed one night

the captain he came upon deck to see if all was right.

he said my boys do not go down you need not think on sleep

for in a few hours more we shall be slumbering in the deep

for a pirate ship is coming down upon the western sea

to rob us of our property going to amerikay

the pirate ship came up to us and ordered us to stand

your gold and precious loading this moment i demand

your gold and precious loading resign to me this day

or not a soul you'll ever bring unto amerikay

the battle it commenced, brave boys, and blood in streams did flow

while undaunted did our passengers the pirate overthrow

the cries of women and children lying in the hull below

while the captain and his passengers the pirate did overthrow

the pirate ship surrendered just by the break of day

and we brought her as a bounty unto amerikay
