The Last Stand of Edward Teach

23
Timbers tossed and split
Another song of the sea
Of Queen Anne's Revenge
Men of mirth set sail to fail
Left to the briny dark depths

A life free and short
In service then beyond
All weight and rein
Dreadful mocking in effect
Was after absolution

When might was the right
For one more song to be sang
Off to sea once more
Wine, women and circumstance
Jamaican rum, ship ahoy

Trim and in the wind
Set and ready come what may
Tragic recompense
No pray no pay belayed
Recorded by detractors
