One hundred days at sea, a wretch away from misery Rummies and rats and tarry jacks, my only family The island of salvation is still a scream away As the lungs of night blow out the light My heart kneels down to pray Lord, why did you take her? She meant so much to me Now, I�m a wretched soul, I'm a privateer, drowning out at sea I�m killing and I�m drinking my blue heart to black But I swear, oh Lord, I�ll never sin again if you bring her back (Ha, ha, ha, ha) Well, gypsy was a siren, dripping with desire Her moonless hair, skin so fair, warm as frozen fire She had the loyalty of a cat behind those pale green eyes And through her cherry lips, the devil slipped a thousand lies A clan of rogues and vagabonds occupied her head That thieving band took her pale white hand, stole her from my bed Like a ghost ship in the night, she drifted out once more To land upon the sand of another lover�s shore Lord, why did you take her? She meant so much to me Now, I�m a wretched soul, I'm a privateer, drowning out at sea I�m killing and I�m drinking my blue heart to black But I swear, oh Lord, I�ll never sin again if you bring her back (Ha, ha, ha, ha) In my sleeping mind she sings a sad and lonely lullabye And when I wake, there�s just the ache that will haunt me til I die When those winds of vanity no longer blow her west I pray they�ll guide her home and put my heart to rest The press gang fill the man-o-war to make the black-mouthed cannon roar Now, all my trade is ball and blade and blood forever more And the sting of salt and spray, the ocean�s howl and squall (Ha, ha, ha, ha) A stumbling wreck, I roam the deck at the devil�s beck and call (Ha, ha, ha, ha) At the devil�s beck and call (Ha, ha) Lord, why did you take her? She meant so much to me Now, I�m a wretched soul, I'm a privateer, drowning out at sea I�m killing and I�m drinking my blue heart to black But I swear, oh Lord, I�ll never sin again if you bring her back (Ha, ha, ha, ha) I swear, oh Lord, I�ll never sin again if you bring her back
