Bosun’s Verses Lyrics by Ye Banished Privateers

First Night Back In Port

0

Hey ho, Hey ho, our Bosun's got no legs
Hey ho, Hey ho, he walks on wooden pegs
Hey ho, Hey ho, our Bosun's got no legs
Hey ho, Hey ho, he walks on wooden pegs
To sink a schooner he aspired, as Bosun ordered starboard fire
But the gunners aim was far too poor, and blew his legs to Galway shore
Our Bosun was a handsome lad, who fancy trousers always had
But now he walks like he was sick, with wooden pegs and iron prick
Hey ho, Hey ho, our Bosun's out of sight
Hey ho, Hey ho, his face is not quite right
Hey ho, Hey ho, our Bosun's out of sight
Hey ho, Hey ho, his face is not quite right
'Eadbutting with a powder keg, his eyeballs turned to shattered eggs
He likes to keep his corn pipe lit, his sockets now two gaping pits
His teeth they rot, are now long gone, from chewing his tobacco wrong
His horrid smile, his awful grin, will turn your bowels outside-in
Hey ho, Hey ho, our Bosun's full of holes
Hey ho, Hey ho, punctured are his bowels
Hey ho, Hey ho, our Bosun's full of holes
Hey ho, Hey ho, punctured are his bowels
He fell from our main top mast, took with him our youngest ghast
He landed on a pile of nails, his screams echoed through the sails
Our Bosun now a hopeless drunk, pouring rum right down his trunk
But leaking like a rusty sieve, his belly's lost it's will to live
Hey ho, Hey ho, our Bosun's lost his hand
Hey ho, Hey ho, he be a broken man
Hey ho, Hey ho, our Bosun's lost his hand
Hey ho, Hey ho, he be a broken man
Once we tried for mutiny, and threw our Bosun in the sea
Then with a shark he picked a fight, lost his hand in one big bite
But the giant fish had a taste for more, jumped the deck in flesh and gore
Oh Bosun grabbed it's beastly fun, came back and whipped us for our sins
Hey ho, Hey ho, he be a tattered shit
Hey ho, Hey ho, but Bosun rules the ship
Hey ho, Hey ho, he be a tattered shit
Hey ho, Hey ho, but Bosun rules the ship
