the jolly rogers - cap'n's keg lyrics
[verse 1]
well there’s a keg stored down below
what’s inside none of us know
and the captain will not say
it’s like a pirate holiday
[chorus]
it could be grog it could be wine
it could be mead, wouldn’t that be fine
there’s just one thing we know is true
that keg sure won’t give us a clue
it could be rye or port or ale
it could be rancid, could be stale
it could be rum it could be stout
there’s only one way to find out
[verse 2]
the captain had it brought aboard
stolen from a ship where it was storеd
and now the crew must speculatе
‘til the captain says “let’s celebrate”
the captain says no one below
so we wait on deck it’s quite a show
we thump and shake and sneak and hide
and try to guess just what’s inside
[chorus]
it could be grog it could be wine
it could be mead, wouldn’t that be fine
there’s just one thing we know is true
that keg sure won’t give us a clue
it could be rye or port or ale
it could be rancid, could be stale
it could be rum it could be stout
there’s only one way to find out
[verse 3]
and still that keg just sits below
while our excitement quickly grows
all that night he let us stew
was it a scotch or a dark brew?
the next morn he called us down
and said “now boys come gather round
i think the time is finally here
is it full of whiskey or is it beer?”
[chorus]
it could be grog it could be wine
it could be mead, wouldn’t that be fine
there’s just one thing we know is true
that keg sure won’t give us a clue
it could be rye or port or ale
it could be rancid, could be stale
it could be rum it could be stout
there’s only one way to find out
[verse 4]
but a tap we could not find
how could fate be so unkind?
“i’ve got an axe and i’ve a gun
oh come on captain let’s have some fun”
so steel shot flew and sabers bit
but that barrel it wouldn’t split
the gunner said “i’ll tap that cask
with just a single cannon’s blast”
[chorus]
it could be grog it could be wine
it could be mead, wouldn’t that be fine
there’s just one thing we know is true
that keg sure won’t give us a clue
it could be rye or port or ale
it could be rancid, could be stale
it could be rum it could be stout
there’s only one way to find out
[verse 5]
and to this day we don’t know why
but the captain said, give it a try
he missed the keg but breeched the hull
we plugged the leak with that barrel
the ship was fine and the keg held tight
but we had a miserable crew that night
we tarred it up so the ship’s leak free
but its contents remain a mystery
[chorus]
it could be grog it could be wine
it could be mead, wouldn’t that be fine
there’s just one thing we know is true
that keg sure won’t give us a clue
it could be rye or port or ale
it could be rancid, could be stale
it could be rum it could be stout
there’s only one way to find out
it could be grog it could be wine
it could be mead, wouldn’t that be fine
there’s just one thing we know is true
that keg sure won’t give us a clue
it could be rye or port or ale
it could be rancid, could be stale
it could be rum it could be stout
there’s only one way to find out
