Rum Rebellion - The Rusty Cannonball

...

Sailing 'neath a veil of stars, coming round the coast

A mighty schooner parts the waves as silent as a ghost

All cannons are loaded, and every cutlass bright

The lookout stands on top of the mast with the harbour in his sight

CHORUS:

She was the bravest ship that ever sailed across the seas

Her tattered flag waving black in the salty ocean breeze

Every mate and officer, they were true rebels all

So sing a chanty for the crew of The Rusty Cannonball

They burned the royal navy off Tortuga Bay

Left them smoldering on the waves in dismal disarray

The captain laughed upon the deck with bottles in both hands

Shouting "Go to hell for you'll surely drown before you reach the land!"

CHORUS

The ship went down one stormy night with every hand aboard

The cold wind cracked all of her masts then in the water poured

So if piracy runs through your veins, beware your cursed fate

To the crushing depths you're surely bound, make no mistake

LAST CHORUS:

She was the bravest ship that ever sailed across the seas

Her tattered flag waving black in the salty ocean breeze

Every mate and officer, they were true rebels all

So take a lesson from this tale of The Rusty Cannonball
