Alestorm - Keelhauled lyrics

rate me

My friends, I stand before you

To tell a truth most dire

There lurks a traitor in our midst

Who hath invoked the captain's ire

He don't deserve no mercy

We ought to shoot him with a gun

But I am not an evil man

So first let's have a little fun

We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope

And throw him overboard

Drag him underneath the ship

A terrifying, deadly trip

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below!

Make that bastard walk the plank, with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho! [x2]

I will not say what he has done

His sins are far too grave to tell

It's not my place to judge a man

But for them he will burn in hell

The sharks will dine upon his flesh

And Davy Jones will have his soul

Take his money and his hat

He won't need them where he's gonna go

But first let's tie him to a rope

And throw him overboard

Drag him underneath the ship

A terrifying, deadly trip

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below!

Make that bastard walk the plank, with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho! [x2]

We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope

And throw him overboard

Drag him underneath the ship

A terrifying, deadly trip

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below!

Make that bastard walk the plank, with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho! [x2]
