Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge Lyrics






Countless years ago while lost in barren seas
There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny
We took up arms and slain the officers of rank
And with swords drawn made the captain walk the plank

And as he fell down to the depths
He swore a deadly curse
"As sure as hell's my final fate
You'll all soon die, or worse"
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words my friend

At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits

We returned to port with sorrow in our chests
An evil shadow followed us on every quest
Never to feel joy again was our fate
Only misery and death, fear and burning hate

We broke the law, betrayed the code
Now time is running out
An unforgivable offense
Of that there is no doubt
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words my friend

At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits

Many years have passed now
Yet the curse still lives on
And now we rot in a black prison cell
Waiting for our true calling in hell

But for the lives we leave behind
Don't shed a tear, don't cry
The only way to break this curse
Is for us all to die
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words my friend

At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits

At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits

  35. L.... K....

    Imagine beeing slightly drunk for weeks just because theres nothing else to drink

  36. K.... W....

    The real Captain Morgan started a a Pirate Fraternity.

    Let that sink in.

  37. C.... P....

    Pirate of the Caribbean soundtrack for life this video and really cool like a goosebumps creep from the deep from captain long ben one-leg is dead pirate ship was evil skeleton into ghost sea

  38. O.... T....

    If i can choose 3 songs for my funeral this is definitly one of them.

  39. S.... S....

    You wrote a song about me?

  40. Y.... B....

    when the torrent finishes downloading

  41. t.... n....

    3:58 I'm not the only one who hears a pokemon theme right

    t.... n....

    Sounds familiar but I've never been a Pokemon fan

  42. P.... ....

    I've only heard 3 songs by Alestorm, and I love 'em! LONG LIVE ALESTORM! Edit: 4 songs. Forgot about Terror on the High Seas...

  43. R.... M....

    I'm going yup go out on a limb and guess most commenters are drunk. I know I am.

  44. D.... ....

    Girls when they see rum: ew, alcohol is gross
    Boys when they see rum:

    D.... ....

    Not to be that guy, but in my experience managing a liquor store, rum is the third most common type of liquor women buy. It's just behind wine and fair bit behind White Claw.

    D.... ....

    You hang out with the wrong girls!

  45. T.... v....

    Captain morgan, the only guy to die of boredom as far as i know

  46. R.... D....

    This song is the morning after drinking.

  47. R.... D....

    Captain Morgan, is that a captain who yells all the time and steals mr. Beast's video ideas?

  48. C.... C....

    Oooooooo

  49. V.... C....

    Amazing!!!!

  50. -.... ....

    11 days then i see them finally liveeeee🤟

  51. T.... T....

    Listening to this on the eve of my Algebra final for obvious reasons. Wish me luck boys!

  52. D.... S....

    The pirates life is the life for me!
    lolololololol and a bottle of win!

  53. s.... ....

    "The hempen jig!" Badass.

  54. K.... S....

    Did anyone else get hit with some old Runescape nostalgia at 4:00 or is that just me?

    K.... S....

    Kage Saru Yep 😄

  55. L.... G....

    Bane's power up song

  56. y.... a....

    I NEED MORE RUM

  57. Q.... D....

    They named a drink after him.

  58. A.... T....

    That double bass though

  59. o.... ....

    me listening to 1700s sea shanties:

  60. K.... ....

    You could create such a good film with this all, beauty

  61. N.... D....

    ♂ NORTH GOD ♂

  62. R.... C....

    Flogging Molly + AleStorm + Rum = Huzzah

  63. R.... C....

    I love pirate metal, but I do wish for some historical accuracy... Captain Morgan died wealthy and with the title of "Sir". Also, pirates, as far as anyone knows, never made anyone "walk the plank". #EndPirateStereotypes

  64. B.... S....

    AT SUNRISE WE WILL DANCE THE HEMPEN JIG!

    SO RAISE UP YOUR PINT OF RUM AND TAKE ANOTHER SWIG!

    THE CURSE OF CAPTAIN MORGAN HAS LED US TO THIS FATE!

    SO HAVE NO FEAR AND DON'T LOOK BACK, THE AFTERLIFE AWAITS!

  65. C.... B....

    4:30 sounds like the runescape theme

  66. N.... W....

    Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirates life for me!

  67. B.... L....

    Ahhh a nice cup of Capt Morgans to amplify this song...

  68. S.... S....

    LeChuck appreciates this.

  69. s.... ....

    between 3:58 and 5:00 it sounds like the old intro song from Runescape!!

  70. C.... T....

    I'm liking this

  71. F.... n....

    Fuck YES!!!!!!!!

  72. S.... B....

    Are you hung over?
    No... Captain Morgan's getting his fucking revenge...

  73. T.... ....

    At sun rise, we'll all dance the hempen jig!

  74. v.... T....

    I almost feel like a deeper meaning in this song is that you should go through life without fear. We will all "dance the hempen jig" some day (maybe not literally), so "take another swig." Enjoy life, live it all, take no regrets, for the afterlife awaits.

  75. v.... T....

    Hmm. Pirate metal. What a concept. Pretty awesome.

  76. C.... N....

    You know you've found a great song when you can play it over and over and over again and it only gets better. I can't believe I'd never heard of Alestorm prior to a few days ago!

  77. I.... O....

    Does anyone else totally hear the Pokemon Stadium theme from smash around 4 minutes?

  78. B.... ....

    Why the hell I didn't hear about this earlier ? This is better then slipknot

  79. H.... V....

    I NEED TO DRINK AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF CAPTAIN MORGAN RIGHT NOW!
