"Hoist The Colours" lyrics

The Longest Johns Lyrics

"Hoist The Colours"
(originally from "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" soundtrack)

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

Yo ho, all hands
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die

Some men have died
And some are alive
And others sail on sea
With the keys to the cage
And the Devil to pay
We lay to Fiddler's Green

Yo ho, all hands
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die

The bell has been raised
From it's water grave
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We're a call to all
Pay heed the squall
And turn your sail toward home

Yo ho, all hands
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die

Yo ho, all hands
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
