Calico Jack - Running Wild

Up with the Roger, the vessel is close

Cannons are loaded, the weapons prepared

Set up more sails, the distance grows

They try to escape but we shan’t care

Calico Jack, listen and hear my command

Calico Jack, I lead you to victory

Calico Jack, we shall win in the end

Calico Jack, you may believe what I foresee

Down with the Roger, the vessel’s too far

It’s time for the flag, no remorse

Anne and Mary, more rum in my jar

I need more refreshment before we set course

Changing the course, we must get in touch

Triple afford, he must not escape

Our breath in their neck they feel our grudge

We have to hurry to get them in scrape

Fight

Acrid smell of smoke in the air

White flag’s rising, mainmast breaks

Ears go deaf by my brother’s blare

Upper deck is taken over

All of sudden a yelling cry

Ports turn open, what a mess

Soldiers get out, comrades die

Desperate fights, we’re on the loose

John Rackham, you are charged and found guilty

Of murder and piracy of the high seas

In the name of Her Majesty you will be taken from this court

And be hung, drawn and quartered

What are your last words?

My last words?

Ha ha, who do you think you are?

What right have you to judge over my destiny?

Take your pompous words and stick 'em where the sun don’t shine

I swear we’ll meet again, bye
