The Tale Of Captain Mcguire Songtext

von Marcy Playground

Four and four-hundred solstices past
When the sea was wild and the world was vast
The king sent men to off the head
O' brave Ryan McGuire and the pirates he led
They hoisted sail and his majesty's flag
And they sailed for the seas near the islands of Celtisag

Two days and a fort-night by the sky
When alas ' The Cutter Ryan ' the king's men he did spy
And there a pirate chewed and pried
The cork from a bottle to drink before he died
"Full straight ahead!" howled Admiral Tannon
"Load shot to the guns and fire the starboard cannon!"

And a pirate cried,
"Fire in the sky"
"Fire in the sky"
"Fire In the sky"

The moon was black and the clouds they bled
When alas the tall ship had sank to sea-bed
Battered was that ship ' The Cutter Ryan '
But high on the mast the roger was flyin'
The kings ship fell under violent fire
No match for the great Captain McGuire

And they all cried,
"Fire in the sky"
"Fire in the sky"
"Fire in the sky"
