Poem
You belong to me mate ( Intro ) And that be that! Get on board And grab your hat! The ship was aghast at its new passenger ( Verse ) Like disdain for the lives that they now left behind, Newcomers were scarce And they never would last But I held up my chin nice and high. The bloke who took me screamed ( Pre-chorus ) “Mop up the deck we’ve got things to do!” But I said sir, I’m just a boy and don’t know what’s to do. And he said ( Chorus ) “Drifting mainly Sailin the shores Taking what’s mine And leaving what’s yours Cause you know, we ain’t dead yet.” Taking the seas for more than eight moons We found islands and loot That was bigger than most. The taste of sea air With its wind in my hair Took me away to this new life I lead. After mopping the deck He grabbed my hand and screamed “Steer this ship boy!” But I said sir, I’m just a lad and don’t know where to go. So the crew yelled ( Chorus ) “Drifting mainly Sailin the shore Taking what’s mine And leaving what’s yours Cause you know, we ain’t dead yet.” Surprising to me Was my unshaven face The captain looked on And smiled with grace, We stopped at a place Where the women were loose and didn’t mind If we took a peak. He said “Now you’re a man so let’s get on that boat, We got places to be and some people to rope, So grab that sword and drop that mop Cause you’re no longer a boy in my eyes.” I practiced the duel with the men in the crew The captain took eye to my devilish pride, And he took me aside and said “Even in death I’m gonna miss you boy But don’t let it strike you Or kill your spirits Cause even time can beat out the Grim.” Then in the darkness came fire and screams, Our vessel had stopped after fourteen years, The crew fought hard and beat most of the men But now, my Captain was dead. We took the new ship watching ours sink deep Saying goodbye to our drowning escape, The crew turned towards me and asked “What do we do?” and I smiled, And they did to. And we yelled ( Chorus ) “Drifting mainly Sailin the shores Takin what’s mine And leaving what’s yours Cause you know, we ain’t dead yet.”
