1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind was just a breeze
|
|
Heading for a Western shore, the barque was sailing East
|
Close hauled into the eye
|
The "Unicorn" was riding high on the tide
|
And the rum went down their throats...with a twist of wine
|
|
Just...after midnight, nobody saw the Antigua shore
|
Just...after midnight, nobody heard the thunder roar
|
Ohh...they were heading straight for the reefs
|
Just...after midnight, they were caught by the storm
|

1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind was not just a breeze
|
|
The captain and the crew were fighting for their lives
|
But they didn't stand a chance with their drunken minds
|
Going down...to their watery graves
|
Going down...going down...
|
|
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum
|
It's the captain and the crew of the "Unicorn"
|
|
Listen hard on a stormy night
|
And you just might hear them singing that rhyme
|
Oh yeah...A ghost that never dies
|
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum
|
It's the captain stuck in the "Unicorn"
|
Oh yeah...A ghost that never dies
|
It's a warning, storm is coming, yeah, you better look out
|
