Lift him up and carry him along
Fire Maringo, fire him away
Put him down where he belongs
Fire Maringo, fire him away!
The deck is awash with blood so red
Pooled up all around the dead
The enemy's ship is alive with fire
There's no plunder in that funeral pyre
Those navy dogs they had no fear
That King's Man O' War, she cost us dear
The captain lays wrapped in his shroud
With ten men killed, he did us proud
Send him overboard and let him lay
Wrapped up in chains so there he'll stay
The ocean floor is filled with bones
Pirates who never will see home
Let's fill her sails and make her go
There's more ships afloat for us to lay low
