Hoist That Rag

Well I learned the trade from Piggy Knowles

and Sing Sing Tommy Shay, boys

God used me as a hammer, boys

To beat his weary drum todayHoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!The sun is up, the world is flat

Damn good address for a rat

The smell of blood, the drone of flies

You know what to do if the baby criesHoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!Hoist that rag!Well, we stick our fingers in the ground,

heave and turn the world around

Smoke is blacking out the sun

At night I pray and clean my gunThe cracked bell rings as the ghost bird sings

and the gods go begging here

So just open fire when you hit the shore

All is fair in love and warHoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!

Hoist that rag!
