Paddy And The Rats - The Captain's Dead video free download

Song from Tales From The Docks, 3rd album of Paddy And The Rats.

Music & Lyric by Paddy O'Reilly

We're sailin' out in foggy, dewy weahter

Pillagin' the Westcoasts

Singin' out the „turalurao"

But labouring on wicked, old sea

Was always making us row

Tired of the „turalurao"

Hunger and no capture

From plague we're no more raptured

You didn't really treat us well

So much different stories

But we came for gold and glories

Now we will send you back to hell

You traitors, the captain's dead, hail!

So long live me

Now I'm in charge so no wail! Way-hey

We'll riding on thunder

The world's gonna humble

Under favour of the night we'll sail

The captain's dead

Abandoned families

Got only catching disease

Now we've got nothing left to lose

The soup is served with rat tag

No lumber for wooden leg

Fighting beside you it's no use
