"Rule #24 - Man-O-War"
(feat. Nils Loewen, Nick Black & Tommy Graven)

With i-ron fists
We shout at the sea
These fish won't have
Our company
At least not today
Not while we breathe
Yo ho ho aye oh

The blackjack we drink
Steadies the hand
That batten down the hatch
Or raise a flag
If these clouds are thick
Our blood is as strong as
The man-o-war, aye oh

Man-o-war
Oh ho aye oh
Ferry us along
With freights of gold
Yo ho ho
Oh aye oh
Plunder straight through the waves

Left a bonny young lass
Back in my town
To search for coins
To settle down
To care for my babe
She's carrying around
Yo ho ho aye oh

Man-o-war
Oh ho aye oh
Ferry us along
With freights of gold
Yo ho ho
Oh aye oh
Plunder straight through the waves

As the old salt once said
Back in anchor's pub
If the tall clouds are flat
Ya scurry along
'Cause when trouble that fierce
Brews in the sea
Yo ho ho aye oh

Fire in the hole!
Fire!
Aaaa!

When privateers
Tried to scuttle our ship
The old man was stubborn
As he is quick
And the coxswain held calm
As he guided the wind
To sink their sorry boat

Man-o-war
Oh ho aye oh
Ferry us along
With freights of gold
Yo ho ho
Oh aye oh
Plunder straight through the waves

Man-o-war
Oh ho aye oh
Ferry us along
With freights of gold
Yo ho ho
Oh aye oh
Plunder straight through the waves
