On the Queen Anne's Revenge
Skull and bones and a serpent's head
Are dancing with the madmen
On the Queen Anne's Revenge
Have a gargle with your demons and me
Is a reference to Blackbeard's flag, which was a devil (madman, or demon) with a glass and a spear in it hand. It also looks as if it could be dancing, especially if it was waving in the wind.
I'm pretty sure that this verse:
On the Queen Anne's Revenge Skull and bones and a serpent's head Are dancing with the madmen On the Queen Anne's Revenge Have a gargle with your demons and me
Is a reference to Blackbeard's flag, which was a devil (madman, or demon) with a glass and a spear in it hand. It also looks as if it could be dancing, especially if it was waving in the wind.
