Bilge Pumps - Fire Maringo lyrics

rate me

Lift him up and carry him along

Fire Maringo, fire him away

Put him down where he belongs

Fire Maringo, fire him away!

The deck is awash with blood so red

Pooled up all around the dead

The enemy's ship is alive with fire

There's no plunder in that funeral pyre

Those navy dogs they had no fear

That King's Man O' War, she cost us dear

The captain lays wrapped in his shroud

With ten men killed, he did us proud

Send him overboard and let him lay

Wrapped up in chains so there he'll stay

The ocean floor is filled with bones

Pirates who never will see home

Let's fill her sails and make her go

There's more ships afloat for us to lay low
