pirates for sail – tyme flyes when you’re havin’ rum lyrics

Loading...

no future was there in london town for a poor man’s son like me
so i left my home and i went to seek my fortune on the sea
i signed aboard a merchant ship out for the west indies
and soon we would be trapped into the winds of piracy

we spied sails on the horizon and we tried to make a run
when you’re sailing under the black flag

the pirates raised a black flag and our running it was done
when those pirates boarded us they told us one by one
you can die or join me crew me boys
time flies when you’re having rum

time flies when you’re having rum me boys
time flies when you’re having rum
when you’re sailing under the black flag
and you’re firing all your guns
when you take a spanish treasure ship
you divide by the rule of thumb
our voyage will be over soon enough
time flies when you’re having rum

with a pistol to my forehead
well my choice was all too clear
i took leave of that merchant ship and became a buccaneer
and though they spared my life i think that if the truth be told
i’d join them for the promises
of adventure, rum and gold

the quartermaster handed me a compass and a gun
and as i signed their articles the captain told me son
us gentlemen make a fortune living fast and on the run
so step right up and take your share
time flies when you’re having rum

time flies when you’re having rum me boys
time flies when you’re having rum
when you’re sailing under the black flag
and you’re firing all your guns
when you take a spanish treasure ship
you divide by the rule of thumb
our voyage will be over soon enough
time flies when you’re having rum

for two long years i sailed with them
across the spanish main
we capture ships from portugal
from england, france and spain
we took what we could and we give ’em back
for that’s the pirate’s code
and in our wake the caribbean sea ran red with blood

the admiralty in london sent a fleet to hunt us down
a traitor in port royal told them where we could be found
they surrounded us and that’s when the captain shouted
let ’em come! the fight will be over soon enough
time flies when you’re having rum

time flies when you’re having rum me boys
time flies when you’re having rum
when you’re sailing under the black flag
and you’re firing all your guns
when you take a spanish treasure ship
you divide by the rule of thumb
our voyage will be over soon enough
time flies when you’re having rum

we ran the red flag up and then we readied all our guns
no quarter would be given and we turned an’ speced an’ done
we got off when good broadside
but outnumbered ten to one
they took out half our crew
and our piracy was done

they took us back to london town
under key and lock
the hangman’s noose was swinging from the execution dock
the captain turned and said to me, we had fine sailing son
the voyage was over all too soon
time flies when you’re having rum

time flies when you’re having rum me boys
time flies when you’re having rum
when you’re sailing under the black flag
and you’re firing all your guns
when you take a spanish treasure ship
you divide by the rule of thumb
our voyage will be over soon enough
time flies when you’re having rum

now as you’ve listened to this tale by know
i’m sure you have surmised
that i slipped the hangman’s cable
and escaped him with my life
but how i got away
that’s another story son
my voyaging days ain’t over yet
time flies when you’re having rum

time flies when you’re having rum me boys
time flies when you’re having rum
when you’re sailing under the black flag
and you’re firing all your guns
when you take a spanish treasure ship
you divide by the rule of thumb
our voyage will be over soon enough
time flies when you’re having rum
