Keelhauled (Acoustic) Lyrics by Alestorm

Sunset on the Golden Age (Limited Digipak Edition)

2014

[Verse 1]
My friends I stand before you
To tell a truth most dire
There lurks a traitor in our midst
Who hath invoked the captain's ire
He don't deserve no mercy
We ought to shoot him with a gun
But I am not an evil man
So first let's have a little fun
[Pre-Chorus]
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
[Chorus]
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
With a bottle of rum and the yo-ho-yo
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
With a bottle of rum and the yo-ho-yo
[Verse 2]
I will not say what he has done
His sins are far to grave to tell
It's not my place to judge a man
But for them he will burn in hell
The sharks will dine up on his flesh
And Davy Jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat
He won't need them where he's gonna go
[Pre-Chorus]
But first, let's tie him to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
[Chorus]
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
With a bottle of rum and the yo-ho-yo
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
With a bottle of rum and the yo-ho-yo
[Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
[Outro]
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
With a bottle of rum and the yo-ho-yo
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
With a bottle of rum and the yo-ho-yo
