lyrics

A letter of marque came from the king
To aid him in the war on Spain
Written permission for piracy
A pardon for our crimes at sea
Join our crew, sign up today
It’s time for you to sail away
Leaving your old life behind
Come on boys, the tide is high!

Taking the king’s gold for just having fun
Coconut rum and Caribbean sun
Think of it just like a lad’s holiday
With adventure and glory on the high waves
What do you say?

Come sail away for king and country
Come ride the waves on an epic quest
Come sail the seas in search of glory
Or just come along to steal some shit
Sail Away!
Ride the waves!
Sail the seas!
Just come along to steal some shit!
Hey!

Now I’ve got a mighty crew
We all know what we must do
So chart a course out to the west
Let’s show those bastards we’re the best!

Jackson was a blacksmith’s son
COME SAIL AWAY BOYS!
Now he mans our starboard guns
Donald is our galley chief
COME SAIL AWAY BOYS!
You should taste his pickled beef!
Trevor’s wife was such a nag
COME SAIL AWAY BOYS!
Until we made her walk the plank
Our surgeon likes to play with guts
COME SAIL AWAY BOYS!
Best of all he’s fucking nuts!

Dear little Timothy the orphan boy
Never before in his life known joy
Welcomed aboard, given food and a bed
But inside a broadside cannon he slept
And what happened next...

Come sail away...

We’ll all go down in history
As the best damn pirates to sail the sea
Forever now your sails are black
Steal their shit don’t give it back!

Come sail away...
