Long John Silver Lyrics

Long John Silver, he was on me like a rash
I gave him my trust, I gave him my cash
Shoulda' known better, shoulda' known from the start
There's nothin' but black in a pirate's heart
Shoulda' known better, shoulda' known from the start
There's nothin' but black in a pirate's heart

I said Long John Silver, Long John Silver
Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver
Long John Silver, Long John Silver
Don't bet your shirt on Long John Silver

Long John Silver, he's good with numbers
He makes hay while other folks slumber
Gives me the brass, and he keeps all the best
The better to feather his pretty little nest
Give me the brass, and he keeps all the best
The better to feather his pretty little nest

(Chorus)

Well, he took all me money, and me watch and chain
I'll crack his head if I see him again
Kind friends warning take by me
Not every pirate's sailin' the sea
Kind friends warning take by me
Not every pirate's sailin' the sea

(Chorus x2
