Flogging Molly - Salty Dog lyrics

rate me

I'll wait for you till I turn blue

There's nothin' more a man can do

Don't get your bollocks in a twist

Settle down, don't take a fit

Ya drank with demons straight form Hell

They almost nearly won as well

Ya wiped the floor with victory

Then puked until you fell asleep

Blackened was the banshee's wail

These boot will never fill her jail

So you crawled into an empty boat

For the Gulf of Mexico

Till Cortez came an' when so did you

From the ashes charred and blue

Smellin' like a Salty Dog

Back from Hell where you belong

Anarchy, the scourge of every sea

The Antichrist aboard a rig

With us your cutthroat thieves

The ship went down we all near drowned

Ya stood there on the deck

Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse

And dragged you from the wreck

They threw a rope around yer neck

To watch you dance the jig of death

Then left ya for the starvin' crows

Hoverin' like hungry whores

One flew down plucked out yer eye

The other he had in his sights

Ya snarled at him, said leave me be

I need the bugger so I can see
