worldwide adventurers - the swindler’s ballad (a cappella) lyrics

and the bottle she held in her hands
was the poison from which i had drunk
though my spyglass had seen through her plans
lonely hearts may be swindled by love
and the bitterest fate of a man of the sea
is to go down alive with the chain and the key
to the lock just out of his reach

on the decks of my ship she held fast to my hand
and gave one final kiss before making for land
and then safely ashore she turned back and she said
“i am sorry, but this is the end of the end.”

thе anchor, the mast, and the fuse that was lit
by thе crew, once my friends, turned and left me for dead
the sail that was caught, oh, the wind that was swift
by the sea, by my blood, as i sank, oh my dread!
for the bitterest fate of a man of the sea
is to go down alive with the chain and the key
to the lock just out of his reach
as old davy jones comes up to lay him to sleep

“drink with me and come to bed,” she sang
“where the gulls cry soft as they fly overhead
and the ocean tastes as sweet as the cane;
every ship that sets sail is yours to command.”
and the bottle she held in her hands as i fled
was the poison from which i had drunk, and i said
“though my spyglass had seen through your plans to the end
still the loneliest heart can be swindled and lead.”
toward the bottom i sank as she watched with a grin
and the chain ’round my neck was an anchor akin
to my love. in my innocence i’d been cut quick
and betrayed to this h+ll of eternal regret

i was greeted at first by a dead man
the flesh eaten away from his skull
“welcome to the grave, you’re a corpse among many
i’ll take you to see davy jones.”
