Jolly Rogers Captain Thompson
We left one morning from Bristol
To the Indies we'd set sail
Captain Thompson worried
Of many a pirate and a gale
The crew said “Dear Captain don't worry ‘bout us now
For we have calm seas and dolphins at the bow.'
“Don't worry ‘bout us now, don't worry ‘bout us now,'
The crew said “Dear Captain don't worry ‘bout us now.'
Captain Thompson stood on the foredeck
Pressed his spyglass to his eye
Looking to the horizon
When a pirate ship he spied
Then he wheeled and shouted, “She's bearing on us fast,
Man your guns me lads this will surely be our last!'
“She's bearing on us fast, she's bearing on us fast,'
Then he wheeled and shouted, “She's bearing on us
fast.'
It was then she came upon us
Bringing Hell with her that day
Captain Thompson he lay bleeding
These words to us he did say
“God damn you, you bastards, don't let them take my
ship,
For I feel the Devil's claw and my life about to slip.'
“Don't let them take my ship, don't let them take my
ship,
God damn you, you bastards, don't let them take my
ship.'
We fired a volley back at them
Our aim it did not stray
With that one hard volley
We'd surely won the day
We'd sent them down to Hell boys, down to Davey Jones
Down to the depths where the sharks will have their
bones
Down to Davey Jones, down to Davey Jones,
We'd sent them down to Hell boys, down to Davey Jones.
The Captain lay on the foredeck
His arms tied to his sides
Off the starboard went his body
His soul lost in the tide
The crew said “Dear Captain, don't worry ‘bout us now
For we have calm seas and dolphins at the bow.'
“Don't worry ‘bout us now, don't worry ‘bout us now,'
The crew said “Dear Captain, don't worry ‘bout us now.'
“Don't worry ‘bout us now, don't worry ‘bout us now,'
The crew said “Dear Captain, don't worry ‘bout us now.'
