“The King and his men
Stole the Queen from her bed
and bound her in her boat
The Seas be ours, and by the powers
Where we will we’ll roam.”

“Some men 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
The bell has been raised
from it's watery grave
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay heed the squall
and turn your sail toward home
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die."
And there ya go.
