Rule #24 - Man-O-War (Feat. Nils Loewen, Nick Black & Tommy Graven)

With iron fist, we shout at the sea
These fish won't have our company
At least not today, not while we breathe
Yo-ho-ho aye ho

The blackjack we drink steadies the hand
That batten down the hatch or raise a flag
If these lads are thick our blood is as strong
As the Man-O-War aye oh

Man-O-War oh-ho aye oh
Ferry us along with freights of gold
Yo-ho-ho oh-ho aye oh
Plunge us straight through the waves

Left a bonny young lass
Back in my town
To search for coins
To settle down
To care for my babe
She's carryin' around
Yo-ho-ho aye ho

Man-O-War oh-ho aye oh
Ferry us along with freights of gold
Yo-ho-ho oh-ho aye oh
Plunge us straight through the waves

As the old salt once said
Back in Anchor's pub
If the tall clouds are flat
Ya scurry along
'Cause a trouble that fierce
Brews in the sea
Yo-ho-ho aye ho

When privateers tried to scuttle our ship
The old man was stubborn as he is quick
And the Coxswain held calm as he guided the wind
To sink their sorry boat

Man-O-War oh-ho aye oh
Ferry us along with freights of gold
Yo-ho-ho oh-ho aye oh
Plunge us straight through the waves

Man-O-War oh-ho aye oh
Ferry us along with freights of gold
Yo-ho-ho oh-ho aye oh
Plunge us straight through the waves
