The time had come to throw him overboard The ocean pulsed just like an ugly sore His clothes were torn, his skin all ripped and red He thought of all the things that could have been The creatures of the deep, they circled 'round He saw their fins and heard their beastly sounds "I'll be back," he said to all the crew "You're done with me, but I'm not done with you." The captain pushed him with his rusted sword He walked the plank, then how the rain did pour Seven days and seven black ink nights Every hour, oh how that crew did fight Their sails gone and holes punched in the ship They heard a voice say, "Brothers, take a dip." Slower than the burning hands of time The ship, it sunk with no one left alive But sometimes when the moon is dull and new You'll see this ragged ship and ghostly crew Their souls are trapped and they cannot break free Doomed to walk the plank eternally
