[Verse 1]:
The king and his men
Stole the queen from her bed,
And bound her in her bones.
The seas be ours, and by the powers
Where we will, we'll roam.
[Chorus]:
Yo ho, all hands,
Hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
[Verse 2]:
Now some have died,
And some are alive;
And others sail on the sea.
With the keys to the cage,
And the devil to pay,
We lay to Fiddler's Green.
[Chorus]:
Yo ho, haul together,
Hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
[Verse 3]:
The bell has been raised
From its watery grave,
Hear its sepulchral tone
call to all,
Pay head the squall
And turn your sail to home!
[Chorus]:
Yo ho, all together,
Hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
