Keelhauled Lyrics

My friends I stand before you
To tell a truth most dire
There lurks a traitor in our midst
Who has invoked the captain's ire

He don't deserve no mercy
We ought to shoot him with a gun
But I am not an evil man
So first let's have a little fun

We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip

Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a Yo-Ho-Ho

Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a Yo-Ho-Ho

I will not say what he has done
His sins are far to grave to tell
It's not my place to judge a man
But boy he will burn in hell

The sharks will dine upon his flesh
And Davie Jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat
He won't need them where he's gonna go

And first lets tie him to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip

Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a Yo-Ho-Ho

Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a Yo-Ho-Ho

We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip

Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a Yo-Ho-Ho

Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a Yo-Ho-Ho

Not Valid

mlefevre323 you are more accurate then the originate but still not fully correct You're right about everything accept the course: It's not: 'Keelhauked filthy lad, and we'll send him down to the depths below' It is: 'Keelhauled, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below' Landlubber is a person unfamiliar with the sea or sailing. check dictonairy websties if you're still not sure.
