Captain Coulston (BBC Radio 1 In Concert With John Peel)
Steeleye Span
앨범 : Ten Man Mop Or Mr Reservoir Butler Rides Again
Come and join with Captain Coulston
that hero stout and bold
Who fought his way all on the sea
and never was controlled
For six long weeks in summer gales
we sailed upon the sea
All bound for New York City
that city fair to see
The captain and his lady
they came on deck each day
To help us with our merriment
going to Amerikay
The merriment being over
we're going to bed one night
The captain he came upon deck to see
if all was right
He said my boys do not go down
you need not think on sleep
For in a few hours more
we shall be slumbering in the deep
For a pirate ship is coming down
upon the western sea
to rob us of our property going to Amerikay
The pirate ship came up to us
and ordered us to stand
Your gold and precious loading
this moment I demand
Your gold and precious cargo
resign to me this day
Or not a soul you'll ever bring unto Amerikay
The battle it commenced brave boys
and blood in streams did flow
While undaunted did our passengers
the pirate overthrow
The cries of women
and children lying in the hull below
While the captain and his passengers
the pirate did overthrow
The pirate ship surrendered
just by the break of day
And we brought her
as a bounty unto Amerikay
