Adam Ant - Jolly Roger Lyrics
In days of old, when ships were bold
Just like the men who sailed them
And if they showed us disrespect
We'd tie them up and flail them
Often men of low degree
They'd make you walk the plank alone
Or haul you 'round the keel
[CHORUS]
Hoist the Jolly Roger
Hoist the Jolly Roger
Hoist the Jolly Roger
It's your money that we want
And your money we shall have
Of all the pirates on the seas
The worst of them was Blackbeard
So damnable a fiend from Hell
He was the one they most feared
Any man who sailed with him
Was taking quite a chance
He'd hang them from the gallows
Just to see if they could dance (ha, ha)
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]

Adam Ant Jolly Roger Comments
he ,d hang you from the gallows to see if they could dance !! Haha Hoist the Jolly Roger ...
By the way, the main melody is borrowed from an old Morricone track, "March of the MacGregors". (Adam knew his influences.)
I predict someone is going to get punched in the mouth.
Are you predicting a riot? Adam was the instigator of many other rebellions! (but not the first, not by a long shot)
Talent , sexy and fun!!
Kings of the wild frontier was far the best album for me I love the jolly Roger track I played and played it so maybe times
just saw adam last week and he played this song. I loved when he whistled
real hit. whenever I showed it to somebody it was hitting
I loved the whole album, so I saved my pennies and bought their previous album 'Dirk wears white sox' but wasn't so much taken by that then came the Prince Charming album and although there were a few tracks on the album that I enjoyed and had huge commercial success yet even as a kid I remember thinking Frontier was by far the best.
This is one of my favorites on the album :)
