Salty Dog Lyrics

    I'll wait for you till I turn blue
    There's nothin' more a man can do
    Don't get your bollocks in a twist
    Settle down, don't take a fit
    Ya drank with demons straight form Hell
    They almost nearly won as well
    Ya wiped the floor with victory
    Then puked until you fell asleep

    Blackened was the banshee's wail
    These boot will never fill her jail
    So you crawled into an empty boat
    For the Gulf of Mexico
    Till Cortez came an' when so did you
    From the ashes charred and blue
    Smellin' like a Salty Dog
    Back from Hell where you belong

    Anarchy, the scourge of every sea
    The Antichrist aboard a rig
    With us your cutthroat thieves
    The ship went down we all near drowned
    Ya stood there on the deck
    Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse
    And dragged you from the wreck

    They threw a rope around yer neck
    To watch you dance the jig of death
    Then left ya for the starvin' crows
    Hoverin' like hungry whores
    One flew down plucked out yer eye
    The other he had in his sights
    Ya snarled at him, said leave me be
    I need the bugger so I can see
