he's looking for a savior
he's looking for a friend
the devil drinks in places you and i have never been
when i was just a young'un
she said this ship had sank and now many soldiers drowned
damn i met the devil on the banks of hostelry
we took three hundred british to the bottom of the sea
when i was eighteen years old
of a prison ship bound for australia
on the bastard of the sea
and the ghost of a highwayman sails
has he cursed or damned you
or brought you to the well
or had you shuck and sully seven miles below hell
for doomed trips and coffin ships the smiling bastards lay
counting out their pennies to spend another day
when i was eighteen years old
of a prison ship bound for australia
on the bastard of the sea
and a ghost of a highwayman sails
he's looking for a savior
he's looking for a friend
the devil drinks in places you and i have never been
