Lyrics

The king and his men stole the queen from her bed

Do and bound her in on her bones.

With The seas be the ours and the by il the pow’rs, we where we will, we’ll roam!

Yo,

ho,

haul to hands, er,

hoist the col ours high.

Heave,

ho,

thieves and beg gars,

nev er shall we die.

The Some has have died and its some are a live

Do and oth ers sail ul the sea.

With the keys to the cage and the dev il to pay and lay to Fid dler’s Green!

Yo,

ho,

all to hands, er,

hoist the col ours high.

Heave,

ho,

thieves and beg gars,

nev er shall we die.

The die.
