Leather skin
With a broken heart
Good seamen
Turned to piracyTurned to the sea
For opportunity
A good boy, men,
Please forgive himHis sins,
His sins,
Oh he knows not where he's beenClear the decks, there's gonna be a shipwreck
Follow his heart back to the start
He's just a boyClear the decks, there's gonna be a shipwreck
Follow his heart back to the start
Tell the mistress
He's just a boyBroken man
With a leather heart
He turned to the sea
For opportunity
A pirate's grin
Overcoming himHis grin,
His grin,
Oh she knows not where she's beenClear the decks, there's gonna be a shipwreck
Follow his heart back to the start
He's just a boyClear the decks, there's gonna be a shipwreck
Follow his heart back to the start
Tell the mistress
He's just a boyFollow the map
Of his broken heart
Back to the start
Of his broken heartFollow the map
Back to the start
Of his broken heartBury him at sea,
He'll never return to me
Forgive him all his sins
He knows not where he's beenBury him at sea,
He'll never return to me
Forgive him all his sins
The mistress of the sea deceived himBury him at sea,
He'll never return to me
Follow his heart
Back to the start
He's just a boyFollow his heart
Back to the start
Clear the decks, there's gonna be a shipwreck
Lost at seaFollow her heart
Back to the start
Follow the start
Back to the heart
Lost at seaClear the decks, there's gonna be a shipwreck
Bury him at sea,
He'll never return to meThe mistress of the sea deceived him
Mistress of the sea deceived him
Mistress of the sea deceived him
