Lyrics
Drums on the wind Sails on the water Guns on the deck Fire in the hole Songs of the long nines They never falter Away, look away, and the bells how they toll Set my sights upon the sea Bid my friends, "Don't follow me" Outward bound for liberty Freedom and prosperity I took my leave of English soil Bid farewell to sweat and toil Danced just like a soul set free Evermore the sea Drums on the wind Sails on the water Guns on the deck Fire in the hole Songs of the long nines They never falter Away, look away, and the bells how they toll Bid farewell to English cheer Found my home in grog and beer Sailed upon the oceans grand Sailing for a better land I sold my soul and burned the ash Tell 'em we'll defy the lash Turned my face towards the breeze Evermore the seas Drums on the wind Sails on the water Guns on the deck Fire in the hole Songs of the long nines They never falter Away, look away, and the bells how they toll Set my feet on pirate sand Sold by fate a winning hand Stole a life of luxury Villainy and piracy I cut a path to sin and shame Deep across the Spanish Main Cast away morality Far across the sea Drums on the wind Sails on the water Guns on the deck Fire in the hole Songs of the long nines They never falter Away, look away, and the bells how they toll Follow quick into the fight Cannons blaze in evil night Found my match and sailed no more Cursed English man o' war I climbed the stairs with all contempt Bound by rope of English hand Danced just like a soul set free Never more the sea Drums on the wind Sails on the water Guns on the deck Fire in the hole Songs of the long nines They never falter Away, look away, and the bells how they toll Drums on the wind Sails on the water Guns on the deck Fire in the hole Songs of the long nines They never falter Away, look away, and the bells how they toll
