dreadnoughts - katie bar the door lyrics
katie, bar the door, the devil’s here again.
he’s looking for a savior, he’s looking for a friend.
the devil drinks in places you and i have never been.
so katie, bar the door, and never let him in.
when i was just a young’un, sir, i came without a sound.
she said this ship is sank and now a nice soldier’s drowned.
sir, d-mn i met the devil on the backs of hostelry.
we took three hundred british to the bottom of the sea.
well i was eighteen years old, i was down in the hull,
of a prison ship bound for australia.
many good men believe, i’m the b-st-rd of the sea,
and the ghost of a highwayman. sails! hurry up!
as a ghost i d-mned you, i brought you to the world,
or i’d just shuck and sully seven miles below h-ll.
for dune strips and covent ships and smiling b-st-rds lay,
counting out their pennies to escape another day.
well i was eighteen years old, i was down in the hull,
of a prison ship bound for australia.
many good men believe, i’m the b-st-rd of the sea,
and a ghost of a highwayman. sails! hurry up!
so, katie, bar the door, the devil’s here again.
he’s looking for a savior, he’s looking for a friend.
the devil drinks in places you and i have never been.
so katie, bar the door, and never let him in.
