In dark, dark days and a long time ago They knew my name on every shore I've cut the throats of a thousand men And I wish I had cut more Well, the kingsmen crossed me on dry land Sent to the gallows by the crown's command Fight like a man and you'll hang like a dog May all their souls be damned Jet black sails over seven seas Death on the wind of a westward breeze Red sky morning whispers a warning Dead girls tell no tales ♪ (Dead girls tell no tales) Well, there's a ghost ship comin' for your broken mind (The depths drag up our song!) For thirsty men we'll be their end (We know it won't take long) We sail and we sail from coast to coast Just searching for some truth We burn each port, a black-hearted sort Best hope it never happens to you! ♪ Jet black sails over seven seas Death on the wind of a westward breeze Red sky morning whispers a warning Dead girls tell no tales ♪ (Dead girls tell no tales) Black cloud arising Way hey away Way hey away Black cloud arising (Raise hell! Raise up the sail!) Way hey away (Raise hell! Raise up the sail!) Way hey away (Raise hell! Raise up the sail!) ♪ Jet black sails over seven seas Death on the wind of a westward breeze Red sky morning whispers a warning Dead girls tell no tales Jet black sails over seven seas Death on the wind of a westward breeze The red sky morning whispers a warning Dead girls tell no tales (haha!) Dead girls tell no tales Dead girls tell no tales!
