A-Swinging We Must Go Lyrics by Ye Banished Privateers

Hostis Humani Generis

0

We betted all our novelty
You reap what you did sow
To a man in mask from the colony
And a-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go, a-swinging we must go
The hangman's dealing all the cards and
A-swinging we must go
To flee from storm and mutiny
You reap what you did sow
We sold our souls to Old Nick you see and
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go, a-swinging we must go
The Devil has come now to collect and
A-swinging we must go
We met a widow hot as hell
You reap what you did sow
That she's a widow rang no bell and
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go, a-swinging we must go
She fiercely took us one by one and
A-swinging we must go
We stole from Cooper's barrel
You reap what you did sow
Got dressed in Eve's apparel and
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go, a-swinging we must go
Our tits and dicks are hanging loose and
A-swinging we must go
So many ways to die at sea
You reap what you did sow
No other ways for you and me and
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go, a-swinging we must go
And at land rope's end's our only friend and
A-swinging we must go
The justice tried our felony
You reap what you did sow
The noose is tied by the deputy and
A-swinging we must go
A-swinging we must go, a-swinging we must go
Our bowels will surely empty themselves and
A-swinging we must go
