Message from the masthead: "Spanish galleon, straight ahead!"
|
Up the shrouds, hoist all the canvas
|
It is worth the plunder, coming from down under
|
Filled with spicery and treasures
|
|
Out on the sea, the power is ours
|
Spitting on order and law of the king
|
Banished we are, outlawed forever
|
We never care what tomorrow may bring
|
|
Tigers of the sea, chasing the gold of her Royal Majesty
|
Tigers of the sea, sentenced to death at the black gallows tree
|
|
All men to the cannons, let them shiver, make them dance
|
Casks of ruin for everyone, let's go
|
When the rigging's falling, boarding party's crawling
|
Up the rail, we will prevail
|
|
We never know the habits and fashion
|
Of England's and Netherland's nobility
|
We only know the king is no poor man
|
A few diamonds less won't make him weep
|
|
Tigers of the sea . . .
|
|
Gentry, take care of your jewelry
|
Sire, beware of the tiger
|
Black pyre, sails on fire
|
|
Tigers of the sea . . .
