Fire Maringo

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