Currdoggin'
The gallies they swing
and fall fo-rah
I leap to the top (Oh Gloria!)
the planks they slide a fool for I
Have drank me fill of rum 'n rye
The sway and jump
the devil's ride
I hold to ropes and dare do I
Keep the fitz about me face
The Captain's scurvey hand me shakes
"Dare I say
(You know the way!)
the sailor's life lives everyday
on the ocean you can't stay
too full of what makes wenches play.
(Chorus)
The bottle he breaks inside me he shakes
I'm comin I'm going deliver me safe
Currdoggin am I...
(Deserving to die!)
The gallies they swing
And fall fo-rah
I leap to the top (Oh Gloria!)
The planks they slide a fool for I
Have drank me fill of rum 'n rye
The sway and jump
And pistols do fly
I hold to the hopes and scabbard do I
Have the wits a pile of disgrace
to hope the Captain's life me takes?
