Gallows Dance Lyrics by Stormfrun

Down

2019

[Intro]
When you hear the drums of the underworld
The dead will rise up from the dark sea
Their voices will echo over the ship
And you will know, that the dead are here tonight
They're coming to join the fight
And the living won't stand a chance
When it's time for the gallows dance
[Chorus]
With a yo ho ho and a yo ho hey
The dead are here tonight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
Coming to join the fight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
The living won't stand a chance
When it's time for thе gallows dance
[Verse 1]
Cheers to Davy Jones, and to the lockеr which he owns
Oh sit down good old friend
With the lives you've chosen to end
Here's to scurvy Ned
You look good without your head
It was a dreary ugly old face
This new look you really should embrace
[Chorus]
With a yo ho ho and a yo ho hey
The dead are here tonight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
Coming to join the fight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
The living won't stand a chance
When it's time for the gallows dance
[Verse 2]
There's to Mr. Young
Oh I heard that you were hung
Ah, quartered it was you say
Well yes lost some bits and pieces you may
Hussah to Andrew Wall
I see you've met with a cannon ball
The middle part seems a bit drafty
Those cannon balls sure are crafty
[Chorus]
With a yo ho ho and a yo ho hey
The dead are here tonight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
Coming to join the fight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
The living won't stand a chance
When it's time for the gallows dance
[Verse 3]
Sláinte Captain Dover
So sad that your life is over
Stabbed to death by a whore
Oh I bet that you are sore
Hey there Black Powder Pete
You really should have gotten something to eat
Starved to death at sea
You smell of rum and fleas
[Chorus]
With a yo ho ho and a yo ho hey
The dead are here tonight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
Coming to join the fight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
The living won't stand a chance
When it's time for the gallows dance
[Verse 4]
Drink up to Captain Flint
You couldn't take a hint
Mutiny on your boat
Who knew that you couldn't float
Greetings to this whole lot
I've noticed that you were shot
Put up on a straight line
I hope that the afterlife treats you fine
[Chorus]
With a yo ho ho and a yo ho hey
The dead are here tonight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
Coming to join the fight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
The living won't stand a chance
When it's time for the gallows
With a yo ho ho and a yo ho hey
The dead are here tonight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
Coming to join the fight
With a yo ho ho and yo ho hey
The living won't stand a chance
When it's time for the gallows dance
