deadfly ensemble – dirty weather lyrics

Loading...

the last thing i remember was s spot of dirty weather and the captain yelling through his beard!

the next time i saw sunlight, face and fingers didn’t feel right! there was a pint of briny stowed in either ear!

bits of boat and sail confused a gl-ssy sea. though much abused, the tempest, in the end, had let me live!

drifting cold and dead, the captain’s sideboard knocked against my head! inside were rum and a soaking crust of bread!

oh!
hey-ho for the captain’s sideboard!
hey-ho for the captain’s sideboard!

come evening time a reddened eye gazed down and set the seas awry. the stirring surge revealed a thick-tongued cry!

not alone; a bubbling moan! i likened it to pale-blue toes… just there! a pale-blue face o’er pale-blue bones!

oh!
hey-ho it’s the corpse of feyrac!
hey-ho it’s the corpse of feyrac!

the semi-buoyant frist-mate had expired, met dampened fate! but hi blinked and swam, at least, a mortal rate…

he beckoned me, where could i run? he asked if i knew how far he’d come. the captain had sent him up to fetch the rum!

oh!
hey-ho, for the dead are thirsty!
hey-ho, for the dead are thirsty!

i wondered if a ghost could drink the ghost of rum, for the bottle tinkled clear and empty; i was long since done.

he waited there, i scratched my hair; i needed rum but how and where? i longed to cut away but hardly dared!

old feyrac’s drowned and swimming face implied the course was clear. my fate was death at sea, and i was late.

so standing, knife in hand, i plunged the blade into my stomach and the fount was bottled up, as feyrac planned.

oh!
hey-ho, for the dead are thirsty!
hey-ho for the ghost of feyrac!
hey-ho for the corpse of feyrac!
hey-ho for the captain’s sideboard!
and i went to join my captain!
and i went to join my captain!
and i went to join my captain!
