about

A poirate waltz yaarrg

lyrics

The bell tolls out across the deck
he’s at it again this cap-a-tain
he and his bell of oppression and toil
I would long for the soil of land
before I would long for these decks
oh the demands that he makes
as he takes the cat to our maties backs
but this is the least of our woes
oh that screaming bell
he belts it without respite or repose

Yo ho

But we’re heading a course to the isle at the back o’ beyond
Yo ho, yo ho, ho yo


The crew they plan of mutiny
he’s no longer sain this cap-a-tain
bodes harder to bide our time
with every chime of its throat
a walk on the plank it’ll be
oh the plot that we’re planning
fanning the flames his cruelty’s to blame
and that relentless tone
oh that screaming bell
but there’s only a day or maybe two now to go

Yo ho

Cause we’re heading a course to the isle at the back o’ beyond
Yo ho, yo ho, ho yo
Yo ho, yo ho, ho yo


The sun was arising on the horizon
we arose to the barrelmans call of land ho
we readied the long boat before that dog awoke
we ambushed him in his fathomless pride
his blethering cries with kill in his eyes
he swore to revenge every soul there
but when we lowered him down he was beaten and bound
and we sent him adrift by the isle at the back o’ beyond
becalmed now by the wreck of his ruin

So we’ll sail by the wind from the isle at the back o’ beyond..
Yo Ho Yo Ho Ho Yo Ho
Yo Ho Yo Ho Ho Yo Ho
