Letra de Captain Ward

[Verse 1]
Come all ye jolly mariners
That love to tack a dram
I'll tell ye all a robber
That all the seas did come
[Verse 2]
He wrote a letter to his kin
The 'leventh of July
To see if he would accept on him
His jovial company
[Verse 3]
"Oh, no, oh no," says the King
Such things that cannot be
They tell me ye a robber
A robber on the sea
[Verse 4]
Ah, he has built a bonny ship
And sent her to the sea
With four and twenty mariners
To guard his bonny ship wee
[Verse 5]
They sailed up and they sailed down
Say stately blind and free
'Til they spied the King's Irene did
A leviathan on the sea
[Verse 6]
They fought from 1 in the mornin'
'Til it was 6 at night
And 'til the Irene, dear
Was forced to take a flight
[Verse 7]
Gang him, gang him, he tinkers
Tell he a king we'll be
Though he'll be king upon dry land
I'll be king upon the sea
