Flogging Molly:Salty Dog

I'll wait for you till I turn blue
There's nothing more that a man can do
Don't get your bollocks in a twist
Settle down, don't take a fit

You drank with demons straight from hell
They almost nearly won as well
You wiped the floor with victory
Then puked until you fell asleep

Blackened was the banshees wail
These boots'll never fit her jail
So you crawled into an empty boat
For the Gulf of Mexico

'Till Cortez came and when so did you
From the ashes charred and blue
Smelling like a salty dog
Back from hell where you belong

Anarchy, the scourge of every sea
The antichrist aboard a rig with us, your cutthroat thieves
The ship went down, we all near drowned, you stood there on the deck
Until the Spanish came and flogged your arse and dragged you from the wreck

They threw a rope around your neck
To watch you dance the jig of death
They left you for the starving crows
Hovering like hungry whores

One flew down plucked out your eye
The other he had in his sights
You snarled at him, said leave me be
I need the bugger so I can see
