Hoist the Colours Songtext
von The Wellermen

The king and his men
Stole the queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones
The seas be ours
And by the powers
Where we will, we′ll roam

Yo, ho, all together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die

Yo, ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die


Some men have died
And some are alive
And others sail on the sea
With the keys to the cage
And the Devil to pay
We lay to Fiddler's Green!

The bell has been raised
From it′s watery grave
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all
Pay heed the squall
And turn your sail toward home

Yo, ho, all together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die!
