Full Sail Mates - (Live)
D.Gallows

lyrics

The Captain counted 24 of the crew who stood aboard
2 dozen men, all brave and true each man to his accord
Cast off fore and aft me boys we’ll sail from the dockyard
for we’re at war we’ll sail to the sea to seek out our reward

(Chorus: )
Full Sail Mates!
We’ll catch ‘em on the straits,
Roll out the guns,
Bring forth the shot,
Prime the cannons, unsheathe the swords,
We’ll send ‘em down to Davy jones
The bottom of the sea
Full Sail Mates!

As they sailed along the sea of blue, the lookout he had spied
A frenchy ship, a galleon, chance of treasure was implied
The captain cried all hands on deck, man yer posts ye dogs
we’ll run ‘em thru this day you see, death upon the frogs

(chorus)

The Frenchy ship was a mighty one, we steered ourselves toward
much gold in store, you never can tell unless you are aboard
as they sailed upon the lee-ward side, the battle had begun
the ships they crashed into the rocks and holed the galleon

(chorus)

The battled raged on fierce as hell, as they fought on thru the night,
The mast was down it’s sails ablaze, it burned on clear and bright
the French they fought with many a man, they fought with all their force
but the captains lads soon cut ‘em down, they showed them no remorse

(chorus)

Well at last we’d slaughtered every man, and the blood spilled on the deck
The cargo hold it was ours at last, and the treasure from the shipwreck
and as we stumbled on below the decks, for sure we nearly drowned
there was a hole of 20 feet me boys, No treasure to be found!!!!

(chorus x2)
