Choose me a crew
From out of the darkness, from out of the blue
A bunch of desperate men
With little to live for and nowhere to run
Ready to fight for their captain
Take them all aboard if they swear to be loyal
Let them feel the lash if they shirk at the toil
Join them as a band with a common cause
Promise them the world and a share in the spoil
Don't show your colours til we draw along side
Load up the cannons; let them have a broad side
Let fly your muskets through the holes in the hull
Raise up the banner of the cross and the skull
Send a man aloft
We're looking for a trader without an escort
A Spanish galleon with caskets of pearls and plenty of girls
And barrels of rum for the captain
Set a secret course for a faraway land
Mark a barren spot, dig a hole in the sand
Bury all your treasure in a wooden chest
Leave three men to guard it, never mind if they're dead
Don't show your colours til we draw along side
Load up the cannons; let them have a broad side
Let fly your muskets through the holes in the hull
Let fall the shadow of the cross and the skull
Bring us hard around
Bring us in range, their guns to engage
Her sails are coming down
Her deck is on fire, they raise the white flag
Take them as won for our captain
Bring the food on board and the armoury too
Make them walk the plank if they won't join the crew
Tie up all the ladies in the captain's cabin
When we get to port they'll be worth a ransom
Don't show your colours til we draw along side
Load up the cannons; let them have a broad side
Let fly your muskets through the holes in the hull
Let fall the shadow of the cross and the skull
