Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll
Set my sights upon the sea
Bet my friends don't follow me
Outward bound for liberty
Freedom and prosperity
I took my leave of English soil
Bid farewell to swill and toil
Danced just like a soul set free
Evermore the sea
Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll
Bid farewell to English cheer
Found my home in grog and beer
Sailed upon the oceans grand
Sailing for a better land
I sold my soul and burned the ash
Tell 'em we'll defy the lash
Turned my face towards the breeze
Evermore the seas
Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll
Set my feet on pirate sand
Sold by fate a winning hand
Stole a life of luxury
Villainy and piracy
I cut a path to sin and shame
Deep across the spanish main
Cast away morality
Far across the sea
Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll
Follow quick into the fight
Cannons blaze in evil night
Found my match and sailed no more
Cursed english manowar
I climbed the stairs with all contempt
Bound by rope of english hand
Danced just like a soul set free
Never more the sea
Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll
Drums on the wind
Sails on the Water
Guns on the deck
Fire in the Hole
Songs of the long nines
They never falter
Away, look away, and the bells how they toll
