Mutiny On The HMS Bounty Lyrics by The Pirates Charles

2009

[Chorus]
Burn the Bounty down 'fore the gallows swing Jamaican bound
Burn the Bounty down and leave water for to drink!
The captain lead with fear and make heroes out of mutineers
Safe in island twilight if we burn the Bounty down
[Verse 1]
Captain Bligh mistreat us under King's authority!
A score and four hot lashings and a cursed sobriety!
Await what hungry sailor dare to speak up for his share
There be one place befit him, may the devil take him there, and
[Chorus]
Burn the Bounty down 'fore the gallows swing Jamaican bound
Burn the Bounty down and leave water for to drink!
Thе captain lead with fear and make hеroes out of mutineers
Safe in island twilight if we burn the Bounty down
[Verse 2]
Lieutenant and a gentleman, he served his honor true
Torn between a duty to the captain and the crew!
Well Christian earned a warrant, one for each in his command
But they'll not find a speck of blood or guilt upon his hands if we
[Chorus]
Burn The Bounty down 'fore the gallows swing Jamaican bound
Burn The Bounty down and leave water for to drink!
The captain lead with fear and make heroes out of mutineers
Safe in island twilight if we burn The Bounty down
[Verse 3]
The Good Lord has delivered us from captains cruelty
And dropped us on an island where the map don't say it be!
Adieu and warm regards my land, I pray I've served you well
But better to burn, a traitor, than endure this life in Hell!
[Chorus]
Burn the Bounty down 'fore the gallows swing Jamaican bound
Burn the Bounty down and leave water for to drink!
The captain lead with fear and make heroes out of mutineers
Safe in island twilight if we burn the Bounty down
[Verse 4]
Now England's eyes go green like we're coming home with money trees
Breadfruit for the savages
Glory for our King!
O'Tahiti sings with her native brides and offerings
Break the rod that beats you and burn the Bounty down!
[Chorus]
Burn the Bounty down 'fore the gallows swing Jamaican bound
Burn the Bounty down and leave water for to drink!
The captain lead with fear and make heroes out of mutineers
Safe in island twilight if we burn the Bounty down
